Level-playing field in PSC exam

Media report that the Public Service Commission (PSC) is going to bring about major changes in the recruitment system. The PSC has observed that during the last few PSC exams, students of science were doing better since there were too many questions more suitable for them. So the PSC is going to make questions for students of arts, commerce too to make the exam a level-playing field.
This will surely be encouraging for the students of arts and commerce. They can expect to do good in this most competitive exam of their life. Overall, implementation of this will be a good balance for candidates of science, arts and commerce backgrounds.
Also, the PSC is going to make changes in the distribution of marks for viva test. Earlier, out of 200 marks a candidate was judged on the whole. According to the latest decision, the 200 marks will be allocated separately for accuracy of giving answers, dress-up, mental ability, level of confidence, efficiency to solve a problem etc. This will help candidates prepare themselves better and they will have better scope for evaluation in the viva-voce of candidates suffering from uncertainty.
The more transparent the PSC exam system will be, the more competent government officers the nation can have.
