Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Wednesday met Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar at Lok Bhawan in Ranchi and briefed him on the ongoing student protests over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). The meeting took place amid growing demonstrations by students demanding action and accountability over alleged discrepancies in the examination process. According to officials, Soren apprised the governor of the concerns raised by students and discussed the situation surrounding the recruitment examinations.
The chief minister is understood to have shared details about the issues highlighted by protesting candidates and the steps being taken by the state government in response to the allegations. The meeting came as student groups continued their agitation in Ranchi, seeking transparency and corrective measures in the recruitment system. The protests have focused on alleged irregularities in examinations conducted by JPSC and JSSC, two key recruitment bodies responsible for selecting candidates for government positions in the state.
Students have raised concerns over issues such as examination procedures, fairness, and alleged lapses that they claim have affected the future of thousands of aspirants preparing for government jobs. The Jharkhand government has faced increasing pressure from student organisations demanding a resolution to the matter. Recruitment examinations are a major concern for young aspirants in the state, where government jobs remain a significant source of employment opportunities. The protests have brought renewed attention to demands for greater transparency, stricter monitoring mechanisms, and accountability in the examination process.
