The examinees were asked whether India Should Pakistan give Kashmir? After this question, two officers of the commission who were involved in setting the paper have been debarred.
The preliminary exam was conducted by MPPSC on 19th June.
The questions asked to the examinees had four answer options followed by two arguments. The question was whether India should decide to give Kashmir to Pakistan? Argument 1: Yes, it will save a lot of money for India; Argument 2: No, such a decision would lead to such demands. There were four answer choices – (a) Argument 1 strong, (b) Argument 2 strong, (c) Arguments 1 and 2 both strong, (d) Both Arguments 1 and 2 not strong.
