Shillong, Jan 28: The Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) for the first time disclosed marks of candidates obtained during the interview for the post of post Sub Inspector of Statistics under Directorate of Economics & Statistics.
This comes a week after the Khasi Students Union (KSU) met MPSC Chairman D Langstang, urging him to implement the recommendations made by the MPSC reforms committee 2025 to bring about transparency and accountability in the working of the Commission, which it claimed is plagued with nepotism and corruption.
KSU Employment Monitoring Cell Chairman, Reuben Najiar said this is the first step that the commission has taken towards a fair and transparent recruitment.
The KSU has led several agitations and protests against the Commission, including submitting a 20-point charter to revamp the MPSC to Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on August 21, 2024.
The MPSC reforms committee 2025, headed by Principal Secretary Frederick R Kharkongor, had submitted its report and the Chief Minister had announced the reforms on August 26, 2025.
Specifically, the KSU wants the implementation of key recommendations, including publication of marks, carbon copy of OMR sheets, annual declaration of assets and liabilities, and notification of marks for personal interview. The union also objected to the Commission’s advertisement calling for applications from “genuine residents of India”, stating that state government jobs are meant only for genuine residents of the state.
