@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC If your argument is strong, address those points instead of making assumptions about my aptitude or whether I can clear Prelims. Personal attacks only weaken the argument you’re trying to defend.

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC Calling someone “narrow-minded” doesn’t make your argument progressive. I’m questioning an examination framework on the basis of standardisation, consistency and fairness—not avoiding competition.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC An aspirant can study governance, vulnerable sections, public administration and citizens’ rights regardless of the answer format. The syllabus develops awareness; the question format determines how that knowledge is assessed.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC Those topics aren’t exclusive to descriptive preparation. An objective exam can test the same knowledge through case-based MCQs, application-oriented questions and current-affairs scenarios.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC framework may reduce this variation, but cannot eliminate it. That difference in standardisation is what I’m questioning.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC My point is simple: in an objective exam, a correct answer gets the fixed marks and a wrong answer gets the same predetermined penalty for everyone. In descriptive evaluation, the same answer can receive different marks depending on the evaluator’s judgement.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC And objective assessment isn’t inherently a Group-C tool. The method should depend on what competency you want to measure, not the status of the post.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC Because evaluation reliability is part of exam design. If two evaluators can reasonably award different marks to the same answer, evaluator-dependent variation becomes a fairness concern—especially in a competitive ranking exam.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC UPSC being the premier civil-service exam doesn’t make its pattern the only valid model. That’s an appeal to authority, not evidence. The question is whether descriptive evaluation is demonstrably more fair, reliable and effective—not who uses it.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC Calling descriptive “the way forward” is an assumption. Modern assessment is moving towards standardisation, technology and testing different competencies through different methods—not simply replacing objective exams with descriptive ones.

लाखो विद्यार्थ्यांच्या भविष्याची राख करणारे MPSC चे महाभ्रष्ट अध्यक्ष विवेक भिमनवार यांच्या राजीनाम्यासाठी राज्यभरात अनेक ठिकाणी मोठमोठे मोर्चे झाले, पण अद्यापही भ्रष्ट अध्यक्षांचा राजीनामा झालेला नाही. पुण्यातल्या ७ सप्टेंबर रोजीच्या विद्यार्थ्यांच्या भव्य आक्रोश मोर्चात अध्यक्षांचा राजीनामा न झाल्यास पुन्हा आंदोलनाची घोषणा विद्यार्थ्यांनी केली होती. त्यानुसार गणेशोत्सव झाल्यानंतर २६ सप्टेंबरपासून पुण्यात विद्यार्थ्यांसमवेत मी स्वत: आंदोलनाला बसणार असून याबाबत पुणे पोलीस आयुक्तांना पत्राद्वारे कळवण्यात आलंय.

भ्रष्ट अध्यक्ष भिमनवार यांचा राजीनामा घेऊन त्यांच्या जागी विद्यार्थ्यांना विश्वासात घेऊन स्वच्छ प्रतिमा असलेले अध्यक्ष नेमावेत ही विद्यार्थ्यांची प्रामाणिक भावना आहे. भ्रष्ट अध्यक्षांचा राजीनामा, दिलेल्या शब्दाप्रमाणे २०२६ मध्ये ७० हजारांची मेगाभरती तत्काळ सुरू करावी आणि राजस्थानप्रमाणे १०० रु. च्या कार्डवर वर्षभर परीक्षा या तीन प्रमुख मागण्या असलेल्या विद्यार्थ्यांच्या आंदोलनाला पोलिसांनी सहकार्य करावं. नोटिसा द्यायच्याच असतील तर कोणत्याही विद्यार्थ्यांला त्रास न देता मला नोटिसा द्या!
विद्यार्थ्यांच्या एकजुटीचा विजय हा होणारच असल्याने सर्वांनी विद्यार्थ्यांच्या एकजुटीला सहकार्य आणि ताकद द्यावी.

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC So saying objective = mugging, descriptive = thinking is an oversimplification. Both formats can reward preparation; the real question is how fairly and consistently the exam measures it.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC Descriptive exams aren’t immune to rote learning either. Coaching institutes routinely provide model answers, ready frameworks, introductions, conclusions and “value-addition” templates, which aspirants practise and reproduce.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC And objective pattern does not mean rote learning; MCQs can test conceptual understanding, application and analytical reasoning. Let’s challenge the argument, not the aspirant.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC If variation were only because of candidates, the same answer would receive similar marks regardless of the evaluator—which isn’t guaranteed in descriptive evaluation. A framework can standardise evaluation, but it cannot eliminate human judgement.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC Real administrative ability comes from knowledge, reasoning, integrity and experience. These can be assessed through a combination of objective questions, essays,interviews and other stages—without making the entire selection dependent on subjective descriptive evaluation.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC The question isn’t whether an objective exam magically makes someone a better administrator. No exam pattern can guarantee that. The point is to select candidates through a fair, consistent and merit-based process.

[Dheeraj Dhokale @Dheer6424]

@MG0001873937150 @Prashjd1507 @BaliramDoleyINC That’s exactly why standardised objective evaluation reduces evaluator-dependent variation. Calling a different viewpoint “ignorance” doesn’t address the underlying argument.
