# Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Monday announced that the Cabinet has cancelled the JSSC-CGL examination and all exams conducted by TSR Data Processing Private Limited (TDPL). The government will cancel results and appointments linked to TDPL-conducted exams and launch a comprehensive inquiry into alleged irregularities in government examinations since 2014. The decision follows 24 days of student protests demanding action over recruitment exam concerns. Around 6.4 lakh candidates had applied for the JSSC-CGL 2023 recruitment, while about 1,975 candidates had already been appointed. Protesters welcomed the cancellation but said they would continue demanding a CBI probe into the matter. (PC: X)
