In my personal capacity I had advocated for change in the Exam pattern as I had found the existing pattern faulty. I had a chance to meet DDG(Trg) at Bhubaneswar during ASPs' Rural Management Training and had suggested to bring in objective type questions for ensuring uniform evaluation throughout the country. The question of outsourcing invokes some thought before a concrete opinion for or against it. I would request inspectorial colleagues to offer their comments for forming a collective opinion on this important matter.

Both are welcome moves since
1. When the questions are of objective type there will be no scope for graded marks. ie. if an answer is correct then full marks has to be given to it and if it is wrong "zero". This would facilitate in curbing bias etc..
2. Secondly, outsourcing would ensure there is no interference in any way, because the evaluating officials will not be under the control of our admin. Therefore it is not possible to influence.
What is that out source which will prepare objective questions from a vast range of Departmental volumes?It is again Departmental links having comprehensive knowledge on different volumes.Same problem!
To bring transparency,a question bank with balance in thousands, prepared by Training Cetres/Colleges and knowledgable Officers of the Dept. may be left with the out source which will choose and pick the questions for exams.
