2. Facts relevant to the issue raised by the petitioner, in short, are that with intent to bring uniformity and to avoid multiplicity to conduct exams to test computer proficiency for recruitment of data entry operator, office assistants etc. by the different departments, the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Madhya Pradesh issued circular dated 20.10.2014 for conducting Computer Proficiency Certification Test (CPCT) (Annexure P-1). It was directed that in any recruitment, wherein having computer proficiency is one of the criterion, CPCT score card alone will be sufficient to consider that the candidate possess requisite computer proficiency. The procedure, criterion and terms and conditions to get such certificate were also defined in this circular. Subsequently another circular dated 26 th February 2015 was issued making CPCT certificate compulsory for appointment in different Departments/Offices of the State Government (Annexure P-2). A Rule Book was also prepared for conducting CPCT (Annexure P-3). CPCT test pattern was explained in clause 3.6 of this Rule book. This clause prescribes that test will be in two "mandated to attempt" sections (i) Multiple Choice Questions (M.C.Q) (ii) English-Hindi Typing. MCQ Section will have 75 question of one mark each. Clause 3.9 prescribed that minimum passing score for CPCT will be 50%. In this clause it was made clear that minimum passing score for each module will be 38 marks for MCQ, 30 NWPM (Net Word Per Minute) for English typing and 20 NWPM for Hindi Typing.
6. Another ground taken by the petitioner is that it is no where mentioned in the circulars dated 20.10.2014 and 26.2.2015 (Anx. A-1 & 2) that examinee has to obtain 50% marks separately in all the modules, i.e., Computer Proficiency; English and Hindi Typing. The petitioner has secured 60% and 70 % marks in English and Hindi Typing respectively; her aggregate comes to 59.77%. Thus, she has qualified CPCT and is entitled to be declared so qualified. Therefore, it is prayed, that she should be declared pass CPCT either by rounding off the marks obtained by her for MCQ module to 38 or by considering her aggregate percentage for all three module, which comes to 59.77%.
