Heavy police force has been deployed near the JSSC office to avoid any untoward incident, an official said.
Students gathered from different parts of the state alleged ‘malpractices’ in the Jharkhand General Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination (JGGGLCCE).
Thousands of candidates demonstrated outside the office of Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) here on Monday demanding cancellation of the recruitment examinations held last week.
An official said that heavy police force has been deployed near the JSSC office to avoid any untoward incident.
Students gathered from different parts of the state alleged ‘malpractices’ in the Jharkhand General Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination (JGGGLCCE).
The protests that started in the morning were continuing.
The exam was conducted on September 21 and 22 at 823 centres. Mobile internet services were suspended during the examination period on both the days to prevent any malpractice.
The JSSC had last week constituted a three-member committee to investigate allegations of malpractices in recruitment examinations in the wake of Jharkhand Governor Santosh Gangwar’s letter to the commission to look into the complaints of students.
An agitating student said that on Sunday, hundreds of students from Hazaribagh and Ramgarh marched about 100 km on foot and reached the JSSC office in Ranchi. “We were forced to take to the streets. This government could not conduct even a single examination in a free and fair manner.
Student leader Manoj Yadav claimed that he had submitted evidence of malpractice during the examination in three formats – written, pen-drive and CD, but now JSSC officials are saying that the CD was blank without any content.
JSSC said in a notice on Sunday that the CD provided to the commission was completely blank. It asked the students to submit the original source of evidence provided through pen drive to the commission’s office by 3 pm.
In view of the protest by the students, Ranchi district administration had imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of BNSS within 100 meters of the Commission office on September 26. The order will remain effective till 10 pm on October 2.
