The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has decided to conduct its flagship Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGLE) online to check malpractices and make the test more transparent.
Besides, the Commission has also changed the pattern of the examination and included descriptive portion (essay writing) in it for the first time.
Hundreds of students are selected through the CGLE every year for various mid-level central government jobs, including as Assistant in Intelligence Bureau and Inspector in Income Tax.
He said a video walk through on the SSC’s website has been put up to help the aspirants understand the new pattern.
About 38 lakh aspirants, who had already applied for CGLE 2016, will have to take the test under the new pattern which will be conducted in the next two months.
“A notice mentioning the changes in pattern of examination has been issued. The new online system will effectively put a check on any incident of leakage of exam paper or tampering with the examination process,” said Khurana.
He said the Commission is getting positive feedback from the students across the country on the recently announced changes.
