Candidates Protest Technical Glitches in Bombay High Court Clerk Recruitment Exam
Candidates appearing for the Bombay High Court clerk recruitment typing test protested alleged technical failures, including server glitches, faulty keyboards, and computer malfunctions, which they claim led to unfair failures. Around 2,900 candidates from Marathwada and Vidarbha and about 13,000 across Maharashtra were affected. Cockroach Janta Party convenor Abhijeet Dipke joined the protests, demanding a retest and urging authorities to address the issues. The Bombay High Court acknowledged some technical problems are under examination but has not confirmed a retest.
