UPSC candidate caught cheating, barred from future exams for 3 years
UPSC conducts one of the country's most competitive examinations. The UPSC has released details of this case and cancelled the candidature of the candidate. 'The Union Public Service Commission is firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and fairness in its examination processes. Any candidate found guilty of indulging in unfair means or misconduct during examinations faces strict disciplinary action as per rules, including debarment from future examinations, as the strictest action. Such measures are essential to preserve the sanctity of the selection process and to ensure that merit remains the sole criterion for recruitment to the Government services,' said Ajay Kumar, Chairman, UPSC. Rule 12(1)(h)—being in possession of or using unfair means during the examination—is part of a comprehensive code of conduct of UPSC's examination process that aims to ensure a level playing field for everyone. New Delhi: A UPSC candidate has been barred for three years after being caught cheating in the exam. They were caught with incriminating material, violating Rule 12(1)(h) on the use of unfair means. The UPSC has issued a statement. Accordingly, the UPSC has taken stringent disciplinary action in line with standardisation of penalties by cancelling their candidature for the current year's examination and barring the individual from appearing in all future examination(s)/selection(s) to be conducted by the Commission for a period of three years. 'This is the sole reason why UPSC, for the last 100 years, has been the epitome of merit and a fair system, and candidates from any background can get selected purely on merit, as per the selection process,' he added. This incident has come at a time when concerns over the examination process and its integrity have been widely discussed on social media. UPSC is often held as the gold standard for its strict protocol and transparency. After the Pooja Khedkar fake certificate case, a lot of questions were raised on UPSC's certificate verification process. Every year, lakhs of students across the country spend years preparing for various exams conducted by the UPSC. Last week, UPSC conducted the Combined Medical Services Examination.

ESIC picks up 451 who failed to make UPSC's final cut
Representative photo NEW DELHI: The Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has recruited 451 candidates to the post of insurance medical officer through the UPSC 's Pratibha Setu portal — which has on offer a talent pool of nearly 10,000 candidates who had cleared all stages of select UPSC recruitment examinations, including the Civil Services Examination, but did not make it to the final list of recommended candidates. In an update on LinkedIn, ESIC, which comes under the Union ministry of labour, said the 451 candidates were selected after going through the list of non-recommended candidates from Combined Medical Services Examination (CMSE) held in 2022 and 2023, on the Pratibha Setu portal. The UPSC Pratibha (an acronym for Professional Resource and Talent Integration — Bridge for Hiring Aspirants) Setu portal is a strategic initiative that allows verified employers, including ministries, public sector units (PSUs), autonomous bodies and private organisations, to access details of non-recommended, willing candidates who had cleared the written examinations and made it to the interview stage. Pratibha Setu was born out of the public disclosure scheme, started by department of personnel and training (DoPT) in 2018, under which UPSC published details of such non-recommended candidates from the Civil Services Examination, Indian Forest Service Examination, Central Armed Police Forces (ACs) Examination, Engineering Services Examination, Combined Geo-scientist Examination, CDS Examination, Indian Economic Service Examination, Indian Statistical Service Examination and Combined Medical Services Examination. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo 'Many of these non-recommended candidates usually end up becoming teachers or run coaching centres for future aspirants. They can now be picked up by the private sector and PSUs for jobs suited to their qualifications and aptitude, via Pratibha Setu portal,' minister of state for personnel Jitendra Singh told TOI on Friday. A soft biodata of the non-recommended candidates, with their educational qualifications and contact details, is available on the portal. The first-of-its-kind initiative offers a platform for candidates who cleared UPSC exams but did not get recommended, to connect with prospective employers who are looking for meritorious candidates with high qualifications. Any duly registered private company, PSU, etc. may register on Pratibha Setu portal using their corporate identification number. With OTP-based verification, their nodal officer can access the dashboard and the Pratibha Setu software functionalities.

UPSC Pratibha Setu portal helps ESIC recruit 451 insurance medical officers
Agency: New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has recruited 451 candidates for the post of insurance medical officer through UPSC's 'Pratibha Setu' portal, according to an official communique issued on Thursday. These candidates were selected from the disclosure lists of Combined Medical Services Examination 2022 and 2023, it said. The disclosure lists have non-recommended candidates, willing to share their information to organisations under Pratibha Setu initiative, who cleared all stages of Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exams but did not make it to the final merit list, the Commission said in a post on LinkedIn. Pratibha Setu (Professional Resource And Talent Integration – Bridge for Hiring Aspirants) allows verified employers including central government and private organisations to connect with top talent from India's most competitive examinations. 'Every year, many bright candidates clear the toughest stages of the UPSC examination but narrowly miss the final merit list. Pratibha Setu offers a structured way to bring their talent into the service of the nation through other credible avenues," said UPSC chairman Ajay Kumar. Pratibha Setu thus creates a meaningful link, a bridge, between aspiring candidates and organisations seeking merit, he told PTI. 'It is a shared step forward in ensuring that talent finds its rightful place," Kumar said. Pratibha Setu provides access to the details of non-recommended willing candidates who cleared all stages of exams conducted by the Commission but didn't make it to the final merit list. This provides a platform for employers to select non-recommended willing candidates who are almost as meritorious as the recommended candidates, while providing a second gateway for the UPSC aspirants to shine beyond the examination, officials said. Earlier, the list of non-recommended willing candidates of the selected examinations — candidates who qualify the written examinations but are not recommended after the interview — was released under the Public Disclosure Scheme (PDS) on the UPSC's website. The scheme has been in force since August 20, 2018. The Commission first used this scheme to disclose the list of candidates for the Combined Medical Services Examination, 2017. However, the PDS has now been renamed as UPSC 'Pratibha Setu'. Non-recommended willing candidates of civil services examination, and the examinations for the Indian Forest Service, Central Armed Police Forces, Engineering Services, Combined Geo-Scientist, Combined Defence Services, Indian Economic Service/Indian Statistical Service examination and Combined Medical Services are included in the scheme.
