Candidates against UFM Rule:
This UFM rule is framed to disqualify the cheating candidates. But some of the genuine candidates with high scores were also got disqualified due to this rule. As a results candidates have outraged in the social media against this rules.
In the letter writing, the candidates should write imaginary names such as XYZ, instead of their actual name and address. Many candidates have got their answer books and found that they have disqualified even for mentioning the imaginary name and address.
New Rule on the Question Paper:
The candidates are arguing in social media by quoting the instructions in the notification. But as per the new rule in the question paper, the candidates should not write their identity (both real and imaginary). The candidate should only use the name and address given in the question. Thus the candidates should not even mention the imaginary name and address.
But this rule is new to the candidates, as this is implemented from this year only. Many candidates said that they were aware of this rule few minutes before the exam. And also they were not aware about the change in rule in a clear manner.
So the candidates were in depression due to this sudden change in the rule and their disqualification.
However, in view of the representations received by the Commission, dealing with the above issue, the Commission has decided to constitute a committee of experts to examine the matter and give its recommendations for the consideration of the Commission.
The Commission may look into this issue after the end of COVID-19 lockdown comes to an end. The candidates are expecting a justice in this sudden rule change issue.
