The Bombay High Court cancels a clerk typing skill test following reports of technical problems at several examination centres. Candidates alleged issues during the Aug. 16 test, including server failures, keyboards that do not respond, software lag, automatic logouts, and inconsistencies in when tests started.
The decision comes after protests by affected applicants. The court’s order also leads to the conduct of a fresh clerk typing skill test. Authorities state that the replacement test is intended to ensure fairness and transparency after disruptions compromised the original examination conditions.
While accounts from outlets focus on different aspects, both describe the same core trigger: widespread technical glitches that affected candidate performance, prompting cancellation. The outlets also align on the outcome—an opportunity to reappear for a new test under more reliable arrangements.
