In a place called Jharkhand in India, many students are very upset.

They want jobs in the government, but they say the tests that decide who gets the jobs were not fair.

To show they are serious, they have been sitting together in a big stadium in the city of Ranchi for more than three weeks.

Some students have even stopped eating until the problem is fixed.

One student, Prem Nayak, has not eaten for 13 days and says he is getting sick.

A famous actress named Kunickaa Sadanand visited the students to show her support.

She told the government to listen to the students and to be honest and fair.

She also told the students to give the government some time and to ask for a written promise of a solution.

The students still want a special detective agency called the CBI to look into the unfair tests.

They also plan to gather outside the Chief Minister's house to make their voices heard.
