It was a shocker for candidates in Kurseong who were supposed to appear in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) exams for various posts under various categories.
The examinees received their admit cards from the post office today, a full five days after the examination they were supposed to write was ‘successfully’ completed.
While these candidates have received the admit cards that are of no use now, there are other candidates for the SSC’s Combined Higher Secondary Level Examination-2014 who are yet to see what their admit cards look like.
Jeenu Khati, a resident of a tea estate near Kurseong, said several of her friends had also applied for the examination.
“This thing is really unfortunate,” she said, adding that she had applied for the post of a Lower Division Clerk under the SSC.
Another aspiring candidate, Radhika Prasad, who said she was utterly surprised to get the admit card today, has written a complaint letter to the Postmaster of the Kurseong Post Office.
“I got the admit card today, but to my horror, the exam was already over on 2 November,” she said. When asked, Kurseong Postmaster Manoj Kumar Das said they received the admit cards only today and dispatched them immediately.
“Our post-persons had notified us that they have received admit cards for the 2 and 9 November examinations, but since it is the duty of their office to dispatch the articles, they distributed both the letters immediately,” he said. Officials of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) protested and condemned the incident. GTA Education Department chief, Roshan Giri, said they will protest such negligence with the authorities concerned.
