Re: DGMS Mailing List: Mine Managers Computer Based Examination

Dear all,

I am fully agree and support the computer based examination. To decide upon the difficulty level, it is the prerogative of DGMS. They know better from me about the level of knowledge expected from the FMR candidate.

Test level can also be enhanced by the multiple choice i.e. one or more answers can be correct apart from negative marking . Number of questions can be increased from 80 to 160 or even more. They can also adapt the pattern followed by CFA institute in which same test is conducted in two sessions i.e. morning and evening session.

But I would like to raise one request and the request is either oral part be scrapped or the marks awarded in oral be disclosed instantaneously. Transparency should be there in every step.

Best regards

Dear sir,

It is very good step initiated by DGMS. Negative marking is good suggestion also, but the managerial capability checking in objective type questions will be real task for examiner who are setting paper and subseuently checking it..

Dear sir
I agree with you regarding examination pattern. The negative marking should be implemented in this CBT exam. The selection of first class manager will be more transparent with this negative marking. In this process those candidates will be selected who really intelligent and having knowledge of Mines regulation and they also implement the same after selection in their mine.

Dear Mining Professionals,

We should congratulate and appreciate our DGMS officials for the great initiative taken by them by implementing computer based test (CBT) for maintaining transparency in system for Mines Manager's Examinations.

I altogether acknowledge beyond any doubt that there will be pros and cons in any system, but there are few concerns in this new take-up (CBT) due to this the main objective will be a deficient.

Initially it was imagined as the standards of this examination would be similar to GATE, CAT and etc., but our CBT examination does not include negative marking, more over with this type of system the candidates are encouraged to submit the answers blindly without any preparation and allows to win the race based on their fate. In this way obtaining 50% i.e., 40 marks in written will be an easier task and most of the candidates are getting ready to manage examiners for Orals in other ways. Ultimately most of the candidates who are not meritorious are leading the race. Already our mining industry is suffering with incompetent Managers and being lack in implementation of legislation in the Mine field.

Hence I request members in this forum to discuss thier views about this CBT exam and to present opinions for better filtration of eligible and genuine candidates to award the Manager's certificate to the deserved candidates. Actually in 2011, before implementation itself DGMS have given us chance to respond about the proposal of CBT exam by inviting our suggestions. But we have neglected the same at that time.
