New Delhi: With an aim to make the selection process followed in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination 'transparent', a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel and Public Grievances is considering a proposal to conduct the test online.

The Committee is planning to conduct the preliminary exams on the lines of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) so that the exam is conducted online and students get to know their scores immediately.

E.M. Sudarshana Natchiappan, chairman of the panel said, "The proposed changes will help save crucial time lost in conducting the examination and thereafter correcting the papers. Moreover, it will bring in transparency in the entire process".

Furthermore, the panel has also suggested videographing the interviews process.

"Videographing the interview process will enable authorities to check whether a candidate has been judged properly and awarded marks he deserved or not", Natchiappan added.

The Panel has also said that conducting separate interviews for OBC, SC and ST candidates violates the law.
