Dear Students, A court case was pending in the Central Administration Tribunal (CAT) Against SSC regarding the rejection of candidature in SSC CGL 2016. Now the verdict is in the favor of all the affected candidates in SSC CGL 2016 Descriptive paper.
Some Candidates of SSC CGL 2016 (Tier -3) committed an error by not mentioning their medium and such other particulars in the answer sheets. They made representations dated 20.03.2017 and 31.03.2017 to the SSC for rectification of the errors in answer sheets pertaining to Tier-III examination. SSC published the marks statement as well as final result in which the applicants have been shown rejected due to error committed by them in the answer sheets. Aggrieved by the same, the applicants have approached this Tribunal. Out of 33053 candidates, who appeared in Tier-III examination only 484 were found to have violated the Instructions mentioned above.
CAT observed that the mistakes or lapses committed by the applicants were non-essential and not substantive. Cancellation of their candidature for these minor lapses was unwarranted.Enough material was available with the respondents to evaluate them despite the lapses committed by the applicants.If candidates are rejected on these non-essential grounds then the very objective of conducting the competitive examination, namely, to identify the most meritorious candidates for filling up the available posts would be defeated. SSC is directed to process the candidature of the applicants and declare their result on the basis of pure merit list, if they are not found ineligible for any other reasons. The aforesaid exercise should be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. No costs.
