UPSC Civil Services Result 2022: After the announcement of UPSC 2022 results on Tuesday (May 23), there was a controversy over two ranks. UPSC has made its stand clear regarding this. The Union Public Service Commission has talked about taking criminal action against two candidates (Ayesha Makrani and Tushar Kumar) who have allegedly claimed selection.
According to news agency PTI, the UPSC issued a statement on Friday (May 26), saying, “The claims of both the persons are false. They have forged documents in their favor to prove their claims.” The statement said that by doing so, both Makrani and Tushar have violated the provisions of the Civil Services Examination, 2022 Rules notified by the Central Government (Department of Personnel and Training). Therefore, as per the provisions of the Examination Rules, UPSC is considering criminal and disciplinary punitive action against both the candidates for cheating.
What was said in the statement of UPSC?
“The system of UPSC is robust as well as completely secure and such mistakes are not possible,” the statement said. UPSC conducts civil services examination every year in three stages- preliminary, main and interview to select officers for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS).

UPSC said, “As per the requirement of examination rules, she needed to obtain at least 66 marks in Paper-II. She has not only failed to qualify in Paper-II but also failed to qualify in Paper-I cut-off. Marks. The cut-off marks for the preliminary examination of the year 2022 was 88.22 marks for unreserved category.”
‘Makrani failed in the stage of preliminary examination’

The media channel reported irresponsibly – Commission
The Commission said that a lot of news has come about these two in the electronic/print media. One of such media channel irresponsibly reported that UPSC has rectified its mistake in one of the above two cases and is probing the matter as to how such mistake happened, the statement said.
