Jharkhand Public Service Commission Faces Scrutiny Over Recruitment Exam Irregularities
Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) faces renewed scrutiny following allegations of irregularities in the 14th Combined Civil Services Examination held in April. The controversy intensified after CID raids, arrests of JPSC officials and associated private agency employees, and the resignation of Chairperson L Khiangte. Opposition parties have called for a CBI probe, while student protests continue. The scandal has delayed multiple recruitment exams, affecting thousands of aspirants and raising longstanding concerns about the Commission's credibility since Jharkhand's formation in 2000.
