Jharkhand Students Protest Over Exam Paper Leaks and Demand Reforms
Thousands of students in Jharkhand have protested since late July against alleged paper leaks and irregularities in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) exams. The agitation, inspired by nationwide NEET exam protests, demands accountability, transparent recruitment, and education reforms. Eleven arrests have been made, and the JPSC chairman resigned. The state government ordered a CID probe, while BJP leaders have called for a CBI investigation and criticized the ruling JMM government and Congress for their handling of the issue. Protesters remain dissatisfied with official responses.
