The Jharkhand government has agreed to cancel the controversial 14th JPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination, meeting one of the key demands of protesting aspirants. However, students have refused to end their agitation, insisting on a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged irregularities in the examination process. Protesters have raised concerns over alleged leaks and discrepancies in evaluation and results. Talks between student representatives and the state government have failed to resolve the deadlock. The agitation in Ranchi is expected to continue, with protesters demanding greater transparency, accountability and reforms in Jharkhand’s competitive examination system. (PC: ANI)
