MPSC Aspirants Protest in Pune for Age Limit Relaxation
Many students who are preparing for a big exam called the PSI recruitment are very upset.
The government took a long time to announce the exam, and because of this delay, some students are now too old to take the exam.
They went to talk to the Chief Minister, but he didn't meet with them.
Now, they are protesting in Pune to ask the government to change the rules so that more students can take the exam.
They are very worried and say that if nothing changes, some students might even hurt themselves.
The exam is coming up soon, on January 4th, and the students have been studying for it for a long time.
They just want a fair chance to take the test.
