After leakage of Ayurveda Medical Officer and State Services 2012 Recruitment Examination question papers, the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) is preparing to conduct its exams online to ensure transparency.
"We will make all our recruitment examinations online soon and if all goes well, then except for state services, we will start conducting all examinations online," MPPSC Secretary, Manohar Dube told PTI.
Dube said that recently MPPSC has seen presentations made by nine infotech companies experienced in conducting different examinations online.
MPPSC would ink a memorandum of understanding with the Madhya Pradesh Agency for Promotion of Information Technology (MAP-IT) and authorise it to issue tenders to conduct examinations online, he said.
After leakage of State Service Examination 2012 papers and Ayurveda Medical Officers' exam question papers, MPPSC's working is under a cloud and it is being probed by the Special Task Force (STF) and Delhi Police Crime Branch.
