Successful Candidates Enter Jharkhand Secretariat Campus Protesting Exam Cancellations
Successful appointees are demanding a probe and legal recourse after the government said exams since 2014 will be investigated.
- On Monday, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren cancelled the JSSC-CGL examination and all recruitment tests conducted by TSR Data Processing Pvt Ltd since 2014, impacting around 2,000 successful candidates.

- JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey acknowledged the anguish, stating, "We are sympathetic to them," while Technical Education Minister Sudivya Kumar suggested legal recourse and an exam reforms committee headed by Amitabh Kaushal began work on strengthening recruitment measures.
