THE Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) is a reliable institution that decides the future of a lot of young individuals. However, the way it conducts the test and interview is mind-boggling.
The recent so-called subject specialist test comprised questions from all the subjects as it had different portions to cover different subjects.
How can a candidate having a master`s degree in English answer tricky mathematical expressions, or a candidate who has master`s in Mathematics can answer difficult English vocabulary or grammar questions? It is like testing the diverse abilities of each candidate in a uniform way.
That being so, would it be fair to ask a fish to climb up the tree or a monkey to swim in the water? The SPSC exam is a hard nut to crack. It is designed in a way that only a jack of all trades can pass it.
Similarly, the candidates are interviewed by a panel of three to four people. The one who has gone for an interview of English lecturer is asked about, say, the history of Sher Shah Suri and Mughal dynasty. Does it make sense? No, absolutely not! The SPSC must revisit its policies and change the style of paper as per the modern trends in exams worldwide.1t should test the aspirants as per their potential and speciality so that they may perform well.
