SIT Reports Procedural Irregularities in APPSC Group-I Main Exam Evaluation
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) probed irregularities in the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission's (APPSC) Group-I Main exam evaluation process. The SIT found widespread procedural lapses, including unauthorized changes in answer sheets, signature mismatches, and deviations from prescribed evaluation rules. The digital evaluation method was challenged and replaced by manual evaluation following a High Court order, which later deemed the manual valuations illegal and ordered a fresh exam. The SIT's final report, submitted to the High Court, highlights significant inconsistencies and procedural violations in both evaluation methods.
