Jharkhand Students' Protest Reaches Supreme Court Over JPSC Exam Irregularities
Students in the Indian state of Jharkhand took a big test called the Civil Services Preliminary Examination in 2025.
Many students think the test was not fair because there were problems with how it was held.
They started protesting and asked the state government to do something about it.
The government talked with the students two times, but the students are still not happy.
Now the matter has reached the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in India.
The students filed a special request called a PIL, asking for an investigation by the CBI, an important investigating agency.
They also asked for a special committee led by a retired judge to look into the exam.
Their main request is to cancel the exam and hold a brand new one.
The Supreme Court will now decide what should happen next.
Jharkhand students are protesting alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2025.
The protests continue despite two rounds of talks held with the state government.
A public interest litigation has been filed in the Supreme Court demanding a CBI investigation.
The plea also seeks the formation of an independent committee headed by a retired judge.
The petition demands cancellation of the exam and the conduct of a fresh one.
