Jharkhand Cancels JSSC-CGL Exam and TDPL Recruitment Amid Protests, Orders Inquiry
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced the cancellation of the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) exam and all recruitment activities conducted by TSR Data Processing Private Limited (TDPL) amid student protests over alleged irregularities. The state Cabinet ordered a comprehensive inquiry into errors since 2014, with investigations by the CID and a committee led by IAS officer Amitabh Kaushal. While many students welcomed the decision, candidates who cleared the exam protested, citing legal approvals. The agitation continues with demands for a CBI probe and examination reforms.
