Jharkhand Students Protest Over JPSC, JSSC Exam Irregularities
Thousands of students in Jharkhand have been protesting for over a week, demanding accountability and reforms in the examination system following alleged irregularities in Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) exams. Students, mainly from poor backgrounds, have been camping in Ranchi, the state capital, since August 25, despite harsh weather conditions. They allege that jobs are being sold, and examinations are marred by paper leaks and solver gangs. Students demand the cancellation of recent examinations, a CBI investigation, and systemic changes to prevent future irregularities. Political leaders from various parties have expressed support for the students' demands, while some have criticized the government's silence on the issue.33 sourcesSee all sources
