Unconfirmed Story by HT Ludhiana Live

In May 17, 2006 edition of HT Ludhiana Live, a report by HT Live Correspondent Ludhiana, dated May 16, 2006, A “PAU Student” was reported to have cleared the Civil Services Examination 2005. The said candidate was highly praised by a faculty member of Department of Food Science and Technology and also by the Dean, Postgraduate Studies. It is reported that the candidate had stood at 372 rank in the list of the declared selected candidates. (Note: HT does not have online issue of its HT Live Editions.)

As per the result declared by UPSC, which is also available at the site www.upsc.gov.in and on the web site of Ministry of Personnel at http://persmin.nic.in/csresult1.html, the name as reported by Hindustan Times Live Ludhiana does not appear in the list. Further, the person who stands at 372 in ranking is MYINTHUNGO TUNGOE Roll no: 033202. In addition to that, the reported name does not appear in the list of the successful candidates who had passed the written CS 2005. It is reported on Ministry of Personnel Affairs that 1174 candidates had cleared the written test and asked to attend the medical examination and the list along with their home addresses as well their roll nos. is available at http://persmin.nic.in/csresult1.html. The name does not appear even in that list.

I have sent an email to the HT through its site and also an email at ludhreportersdesk@hindustantimes.com. As I know one of the HT reporters, I have brought this information to their knowledge also. They had sought the information about the web sites from where I have gathered the information. I had provided all the links. I have also placed a copy of the result collected from the site of UPSC at my blog www.civilservices-prelims.blogspot.com at Final Result of IAS 2005 Declared in May 2006.

Such reports damages the reputation of all such organizations whose names appear in the list. Last year, an imposter had projected himself as a selected IAS in the list of CS 2004. He fooled the administration as well as many other reputed people. He even played with the emotions of a family when he managed to establish a marriage alliance.

However, there is no clarification by the Hindustan Times group till this day. They should counter check and verify the veracity of the report. If my judgement is wrong, or if my collection of information is faulty, I must also learn. But they should respond.

    I salute your spirit and it is a matter of shame for Hindustan times to not acknowledge the error committed by their staff member. The ludhiana staff reporter Amit Sharma himself is PAU alumini and he should not tarnish the image of PAU as well as Hindustan Times by such lackadaisical manner.
    A further clarification in this matter from Hindustan Times is highly expected.
