Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) has decided to award additional 6 marks to all candidates, who appeared for the SDIPRO (OIS-II), Group-B recruitment examination.
It acknowledged the printing error in the Journalism & Mass Communication paper, which impacted the marks distribution.
In an official notification, the Commission said a discrepancy was found in Part-B of the paper, in which marks for the specified questions (8, 9, and 10) were incorrectly printed, resulting in a total of 94 marks instead of 100 marks. “To rectify the discrepancy, six extra marks will be awarded to all candidates, regardless of the marks they secured in the paper to maintain fairness in the recruitment process,” it said.
The written exam was conducted on March 29-30 in two shifts at Cuttack to fill a total of 39 vacancies.
