Why it matters
The incident raises concerns about the integrity and administrative efficiency of public recruitment processes in the state.
A probe by the Internal Vigilance Wing of the Kerala Public Service Commission has found anomalies in the valuation of ten questions in the examination for the Chief (Industry and Infrastructure) post in the State Planning Board. According to the interim report filed by the vigilance officer, the answers to nine questions for any of the 228 candidates were not evaluated due to an error in assigning these questions for evaluation in the On Screen Marking (OSM) system.
