‘Right to know mistakes’: DSSSB aspirants demand response sheets, seek transparency in evaluation

Several candidates are campaigning on social media, demanding response sheets for Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) exams. Aspirants complained that while the board releases answer keys, it does not display candidates’ response sheets, resulting in lack of transparency.

Candidates argued that it is their right to know the raw marks obtained by them in the exam. They are confused about how to match their questions with the answers to know about their performance in the recruitment exam.

Some aspirants also alleged data manipulation and irregularities in marks. They also compared the board to other selection boards including Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Railway Recruitment Board (RRB), and others arguing that such recruitment bodies always provide response sheets.

Taking to X, a user said in a post, “Every serious recruitment body provides candidate responses with the answer key, for example, SSC and railway. Why not DSSSB? Aspirants have the right to check where they made mistakes.”

“We, the DSSSB aspirants, demand complete transparency in the evaluation process. It’s our right to see our candidate responses along with the official answer key. Every student deserves to know their raw marks,” wrote another X user.

Demanding a change in evaluation process, an aspirant posted, “It's high time DSSSB changed its outdated methods, without candidate response an answer key of no use, leaves no scope for improvement since you can't analyse your mistakes. Also we don't know what our raw score is, we will get normalised marks too after the result.”

A special educator said, “We, the DSSSB aspirants, demand transparency in evaluation. We want to see our responses and official answer keys. Students deserve to know their raw marks. Let's unite for fairness!”
