UP PCS Exam: The preliminary examination of PCS conducted by Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has been organized on 22 December, candidates have been allotted examination centers in other districts. Candidates coming from outside districts to take the exam are reaching their centers with the help of Google Map location, but Google Map location is also cheating the candidates. Many candidates who reached Islamia Inter College in Firozabad were cheated by Google Map location.
13 examination centers have been set up in Firozabad district. Out of these examination centers, nine examination centers are in Firozabad city, while three examination centers have been set up in Shikohabad and one in Sirsaganj. Islamia Inter College has also been made an examination center among the examination centers set up in Firozabad city. Google Map is taking the candidates to Islamia Inter College, but this location is dropping it till the gate going towards Jaleshwar Road, but this gate has been closed by the administration.
Exam missed due to Google Map
Candidates are being given entry from Gandhi Park side. Candidates who reached with the help of Google Map became a victim of Google Map fraud at that time. When they reached Islamia Inter College at 8:40, the gate they reached was closed. It took 5 minutes to reach Gandhi Park gate from the main gate but by then the time to enter the examination center was over. The policemen on duty at the gate sent the candidates back citing the time being over. The candidates looked disappointed due to missing the exam.
Roopa Yadav, who came to give the exam from Mainpuri, says that she had left home on time, there was fog on the way and the car also broke down. Still, at 8:40 she reached the Jaleshwar Road gate of Islamia Inter College examination center with the help of Google Map. But that gate was closed from where it took 7 minutes to reach the Gandhi Park gate due to traffic, due to which she was not given entry. The same thing happened with a candidate who came from Hathras, due to which he also missed the exam.
“The road is narrow at the main gate, there is no parking arrangement”
According to the information received from the staff deployed on duty at the examination center, the road at the Jaleshwar Road gate of Islamia Inter College is narrow and due to lack of parking arrangement, entry has been arranged from Gandhi Park Maidan, that gate has been kept closed. In the admit card issued by the commission, the address of Islamia Inter College is given as Gandhi Park Maidan Shiv Nagar street, but the candidates did not pay attention to the full address and took the location of Islamia Inter College on Google Map, due to which they had to wander and eventually missed their exam.
