UPSC row: Arvind Verma Committee says no change required in CSAT
New Delhi, Aug 1 (IBNS): In a setback for the protesting Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) aspirants, the Arvind Verma committee has submitted its report on the row and has recommended that no change should be made in the Civil Service Aptitude Test, reports said.
CNN-IBN quoting sources reported: "The committee has recommended that the quality of English to Hindi translations in CSAT paper should be improved. There are 20 marks of English comprehension which are of class 10th level and that future civil servants are expected to have that level of knowledge."
Earlier, the upper house of Parliament had to be adjourned twice on Friday after the Opposition created uproar over the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam row.
Lawmakers from Congress, Samajwadi Party and Janata Dal-United raised the issue in Rajya Sabha with Sharad Yadav of JD-U saying the government has not done anything despite assurances to resolve it.
Lawmakers had earlier also created a ruckus over the issue after hundreds of UPSC aspirants resorted to violent protest in Delhi over the Civil Services Aptitude Test for UPSC exams demanding its withdrawal since they claimed it to be favouring those who studied in English.
The aspirants had resorted to arson targetting public transport and police vans besides stone pelting. They had blocked the Outer Ring Road near Wazirabad too earlier.
