Patna, Dec 4 (NationPress) The Central Selection Board for Constables (CSBC) in Bihar has addressed a significant issue for candidates regarding the Economic Weaker Section (EWS) and Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificates on Wednesday by allowing candidates to take part in the physical tests.
Now, these certificates are no longer a prerequisite prior to the physical tests for constable recruitment. This decision follows considerable protests from candidates.
Approximately 1.07 lakh candidates who cleared the written examination have been demonstrating for the past eight days in Gardani Bagh, Patna.
Their primary concern was that the CSBC had not explicitly outlined the requirement for EWS and NCL certificates in the recruitment notification.
Candidates raised questions about why these stipulations were not mentioned beforehand, which they believe led to confusion and delays.
The CSBC has now clarified and revised the regulations, stipulating that these certificates are not mandatory prior to the physical test.
Jitendra Kumar, Chairman of CSBC, announced that candidates will not face disqualification from the physical test due to the lack of EWS and NCL certificates.
He stated: "If anyone possesses these two certificates, that's great. However, candidates without them will still be allowed to participate in the physical test and will not be disqualified."
The General Administration Department of the Bihar government has requested CSBC's perspective on the matter.
Bihar's Education Minister Sunil Kumar also reassured candidates that their concerns would be taken seriously and that appropriate measures would be implemented to resolve the situation.
The physical tests are scheduled for December 9, with approximately 1.07 lakh candidates who cleared the written examination expected to participate.
