Rohtas: A dog's photo in the admit card for the upcoming recruitment exam for the posts of peon at the District and Sessions Court in Bihar's Rohtas has put the candidate in a quagmire and brought the recruitment board's role under scrutiny.
The admit card for the March 15 examination bears the name, roll number, and other details correctly. But a dog's photo was printed in place of the candidate's photo. Seeing the admit card, the candidate began running from pillar to post to get it corrected, at a time when he should have been preparing.
The candidate from Dhawa village in Bikramganj had applied for the fourth-grade recruitment notified in 2022 and has complained to the recruitment board several times. But no hearing has yet taken place. The candidate claims that these vacancies were announced in 2022, and the preliminary exam is being held now. "The examination centre is located in Saharsa. When I saw my admit card, I was shocked. I had correctly uploaded my photo when applying, and have proof of thism" he said.
"Vacancies for the post of peon were announced four years ago at the District and Sessions Court. I had applied for it at that time. After four years, when the admit card was issued, I was made a laughingstock because of the picture of a dog on it. This error should be corrected promptly so that we don't face any problems at the examination centre," said the candidate.
The hilarious error has raised questions about the seriousness of the government recruitment process and the online application system.
"The Board should resolve this issue soon so that I can take the exam peacefully. Strict action should also be taken against those who are negligent," he added.
