Students in Ranchi continue protests over alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) Combined Preliminary Test. Demonstrators say the 14th JPSC Combined Preliminary Test held on April 19 was conducted with irregularities and they are calling for the exam to be cancelled. Protesters also demand an independent investigation by central agencies, including the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The demonstrations are focused on recruitment-related examinations linked to the JPSC and on related allegations raised by candidates. Organisers have urged that the matter be examined by agencies outside the state machinery and have asked for transparency in how the recruitment process proceeds. The protests continue as students press for cancellation of the test and for a central probe to address their concerns.
The reports describe the protest demands but do not provide official findings or outcomes from the commission or government regarding the allegations.
