Allahabad High Court Orders UPPSC Exam Postponement
The Allahabad High Court told the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) to delay the exam for 609 government jobs.
This happened because some candidates from the OBC category were not placed correctly in the general category.
The court decided that UPPSC needs to redo the initial list of qualified candidates and then hold the main exam.
The main exam was to fill jobs like engineers and horticulture officers.
The court also found that UPPSC did not follow the rules for how many candidates were shortlisted.
The court is making sure the selection process is fair for all candidates.
Allahabad High Court instructed UPPSC to postpone Mains exam.
The exam was for 609 Group-A and Group-B posts.
The exam was originally scheduled for September 28.
The court's decision is based on challenges to the preliminary selection.
