Jharkhand invites student protesters for fresh talks on exam irregularities
Some students in Jharkhand, a state in India, are upset about government job exams.
They believe the exam process was not fair.
To show how they feel, the students are protesting.
The Jharkhand government wants to talk with them to solve the problem.
The government has invited the students for a new meeting on August 17 at 2 pm.
The students agreed to come to the meeting.
But they said they will not give up on their demands.
They want the exams cancelled, an investigation by the CBI, and the report made public.
They also want action against the people responsible for the problem.
The protests have been going on for more than three weeks.
The Jharkhand government invited agitating students for fresh talks on August 17 at 2 pm.
The invitation followed a meeting between officials and students at the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium protest site in Ranchi.
