A Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police officer, who secured the highest marks in the examination for fast-track promotion to the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) rank, has been given zero marks in the interview.
The police officer, Rizwan Ullah, who took the exam for speedy promotion, contacted the senior command of the KP police for the resolution of his issue. However, nothing has been done about his unfortunate case, the News reported.
It is worth mentioning here that failing the written exam toppers in interviews is a common practice in government organizations. It is mainly done to promote candidates based on cronyism or nepotism.
According to the details, around 23 candidates took part in the exam for seven positions of the DSP and Rizwan Ullah topped the exam with 456 marks. However, interviewers mysteriously gave him zero marks.
As per the reports, if the interview and written scores of other candidates are added together, Rizwan Ullah will still have more marks than others. Any candidate, who fails the interview, is directly out of the race for appointment to the DSP rank.
This demands an investigation of the KP police’s appointment procedure as well as the motives of the interviewers, who strangely failed the candidate and disregarded his academic performance.
Note: The picture is for illustration purposes only.


The one who interviewed him should be terminated from services without any benefits. He is a cheater.
nepotism
Zero is ok. But when you have such extreme grading, it is common practice that the Interviewers should write down the exact reasons why on their opinion, the candidate has been rated as nil. Another top level body should review these remarks. Additionally, the candidate can be asked for another round but by a team chosen, say from Punjab.
I do agree
Same happend with me by Psc kpk in lecturer zoology test I got 35 marks out of 45 marks.In the intervw Dr Nawaz sir Basit of peshwr uni and some others give me only 17 marks only.while a candidate who got only 30 and 28 marks in written test got 24/25 marks in interview.
There should be a neutral panel judging the interviews so no nepotism or unfair advantage is given to a candidate. Also as in Royal colleges, there are 2 teams in these kind of interviews/ VIVA. The one who ask questions can not rate/give numbers and viceversa.
jaib garam kam khatam…
Zror heavy sifarish hogi kisi aur ki, aur kia ho sakta hy Pakistan main aur khas kr KPK main.
Exactly….
How ridiculous. The apex command must take serious notice of the matter. A thorough investigation shall be carried out to unearth the facts. If the interviewers have done it intentionally to knock out the topper due to nepotism or any other personal reasons then afresh interviews may be conducted with a new interview panel and the previous interviews should be made null and void to sustain justice and meritocracy…..!!!
Such a sheer violation of merit and justice. KP Police is already devoid of competent lot due to highest casualties in recent war on terror. We have only few gems in the system. Sir Rizwan remained my immediate boss for 2 years. Haven’t seen such a dedicated, deserving and able person in entire KP Police. A top level inquiry needs to be conducted to know why on earth a candidate who top the written exam ended up “zero marks” in the interview. What an irony and blatant joke.
If a Kp psc member is so bais, rasist nd blind due to his self disgrunt without any reason nd kills merit, this reflects clear messge that kp psc members considers themselves gods, nd pity on other members of the penel that they sit in the interview like puppets in front of a schizophernic police officer who dicates them all nd they bend their kness in front of one member.
The NEWS shall interview the affected candidate besides publishing the news for grabbing real story behind the scene.
Giving zero marks to the candidates with good scores has become a sort of fashion .The interview system is not fair and is a trap for the talented ones who often donot have any approach or acquaintances in the panel whatsoever
This interview must be conducted on line so that every citizen could listen and see and the the interviewer questions must be be shafulled before asked for every candidate.
This is common in KPK Public Service Commission. a gold medalist having higher education with good academic record and high marks in written is awarded less marks in interview. Two brothers named Sifarish Khan and Rishwat Khan play role in appointment in any department
It’s a very old story v all know in government system only those who have strong support or highly bribed money can get the job merits does not count…….
May be test is out or purchase by the candidate. Like PST test in kpk.
Can I accepted this job
It is an extreme injustice with the talent and he must be provided true justice.
The purpose of the test(s) followed by interview(s) is to select suitable candidates for PUBLIC service appoints. The assessment procedures adopted for grading written papers and the assessments used for oral tests or interviews must also be criteria based and this criteria must be available to PUBLIC. Written assessments and oral assessment must be designed to deliver comparable results so each may validate the other.
What a ridiculous website that we can’t even properly read the post because the page contains more ads than useful content
Money bhai ka order hoga k bahir karo candidate ko.,🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is the dilemma of this bloody educational system. Here written tests are just to check your memory and no critical or analytical checkings are in written test.
I have heard that a senior officer of G20 was interview commity mmber and he had personal grudges with the candidate who did MS in computer science .
The topper is a very professional officer but due to like/dislike by a police officer member in PPSC he was given zero marks. Rizwan is a very bright officer, doing PhD in computer science and this DIG gave him zero marks due to personal like and dislikes.

بددیانت قوم کے افسران انٹرویو کو ذاتی مقاصد کے حصول کے لیے استعمال کرتے ہیں۔
انٹرویو ہونے ہی نہیں چاہیے ۔
میں کسی ایک تعلیمی بورڈ کا فرسٹ پوزیشن ہولڈر ہوں
لیکن انٹرویو کہہ لیں یا وایوا کہہ لیں اس میں رعایتی نمبروں سے پاس کیا گیا ۔ اسکے باوجود میں وہ بورڈ ٹاپ کیا۔
ںعد ازاں معلوم پڑا امتحانی مرکز کے بڑوں کا میرے انسٹیٹیوٹ سے کچھ مسلہ تھا۔
واللہ اعلم
Thats not unsusual in Pakistan. Same thing happened to me in KPPSC interviews.
