The written exam process for filling A11-A13 in the civil service, which took place from June 22 to 25. Although the candidates were divided into four different groups and took the exams on different days, the exam questions remained exactly the same for everyone. This has caused intense dissatisfaction, particularly among those who took the exam on the first day, as they claim that the candidates who took it later were already familiar with the topics.

The Secretary-General of PASYDY, Stratis Matthaiou, speaking on the “Alpha Kalimera” program, confirmed that a signed, official complaint has been filed with PASYDY regarding this specific issue.

In fact, PASYDY will send an urgent letter to EDY today to request an explanation.

“We need to determine whether this is indeed the case, which I believe it is. Because the letter is signed. This must be investigated, and the Public Service Commission must respond to us.”

In their letter to PASYDY, the affected candidates cite conditions of unequal treatment, pointing out that administering the same written exam over four consecutive days to different groups of candidates does not ensure equality among the examinees. As they point out, those who took the exam on subsequent days were not in the same circumstances as those who took it on the first day, as there was an objective possibility of leaks or the transmission of information regarding the content of the exam questions. In fact, they emphasize that in an era when the use of the internet and artificial intelligence tools is widespread, administering exams with exactly the same set of questions over four days raises serious concerns regarding reliability and equal treatment.
