Only 11 fail to clear test for sanitary workers
2,300 candidates make it to next round
The Madras High Court is now faced with the daunting task of conducting practical tests for almost all candidates who appeared for the written test for filling up 68 sweeper and 59 sanitary worker posts, as just 11 out of 2,357 candidates failed to score the minimum qualifying marks.
A woman candidate, J. Priya, was the only one to have scored 50 out of 50 marks in the written test. Nevertheless, 1,104 candidates scored between 40 and 49 marks, thereby diminishing the chances of all others to get selected for the posts even if they manage to get good scores in the practical test as well as the interview.
Court sources said there was also an equal chance of those who had scored well in the written test not making it to the final selection list, since every successful candidate would have to necessarily score the minimum qualifying mark of five out of 25 marks in the practical test and three out of 10 marks in the interview.
Not expressing surprise over most of the candidates having scored good marks in the written test, a court official said the bilingual question paper (with 35 questions on general knowledge and 15 on general Tamil) was set only at the level of understanding of an individual who would have passed Class VIII.
When did India attain Independence? Which telephone number would you dial to call the police? Who is popularly known as Kappalottiya Tamilan ? Which is the chief judicial authority of India? Which is our national tree? Who built Kallanai? were some of the multiple choice questions asked in the written test.
One of the current affairs questions was: Who is the incumbent Vice President of India? And curiously, the question paper itself had misspelt the name of M. Venkaiah Naidu as “Hon’ble Vengaiah Naidu.”
The other options provided for the question were: “Hon’ble Thameem Ansari, Hon’ble Kalleswaran and Hon’ble N.T. Thivari.”
