questions, which have spelling errors, must be treated as wrong questions therefore, should also be
deleted.
Likewise, the petitioners objected 8 questions of Zoology subject-paper. 11 questions of Geology,
9 questions of geography; 8 questions of Chemistry; 6 questions of Agriculture, 6 questions of
Mathematics; 2 questions of Mechanical Engineering and 1 question of law, on the ground of being
invalid because of spelling mistakes/printing errors. According to the Commission, these 55 questions
of above said eight subjects have not been deleted, as the same were also got corrected through
announcements made in the Examination Halls and the mistakes were intelligible to the candidates
having knowledge of the subject. For the reasons already given, the stand of Commission in this
regard cannot be accepted and, therefore, the above referred 55 questions, in addition to 11 pointed
out questions of Sociology subject paper, in all also deserved to be deleted, besides the already
deleted questions.
QUESTIONS CARRYING NO CORRECT OPTION/
CARRYING MORE THAN ONE CORRECT OPTION:
The Commission has deleted some of the questions out of the questions pointed out by the petitioners
having no correct option or with more than one correct option. The stand of Commission is that the
questions objected to by the petitioners were got checked up by the experts, including independent
experts, and going by the experts’ opinion it deleted the wrong questions.
I have perused the record of the Commission maintained this behalf. I am referring to Sociology
subject. The petitioners have objected to 14 questions being Q.Nos.2, 3, 12, 18, 19, 30, 46, 49, 56,
59, 85, 94, 105 & 116. The Commission has deleted Q.No.56 alone. From the perusal of record,
it appears that the Commission forwarded the representations of the candidates to the expert other
than the paper-setter for his opinion. The expert has rendered two opinions dated 11.7.2005 and
14.7.2005. The first one reads:-
“I have gone through the representations made by some of the candidates of J&K
Combined Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2005 relating to the optional paper
“Sociology”. In my view the following questions need to be ignored/deleted as there
appears to be some printing error in the options shown against these questions.
Series ‘B’ Question Nos. 26 and 83.”
