Angry over long-pending exam results, Jharkhand aspirants launch 'satyagraha' outside JPSC office

Hundreds of Jharkhand aspirants launch indefinite satyagraha outside JPSC office demanding release of long-pending exam results for Food Safety Officer and CDPO posts.

"The entire exam calendar has collapsed. We have been living in uncertainty for months - Protesting Candidate"

Ranchi, Nov 17

Frustrated over prolonged delays in recruitment results, hundreds of aspirants on Monday launched a 'satyagraha' outside the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) headquarters here.

The protesters demanded the immediate release of long-pending exam results.

The protesting candidates said that more than a year has passed since the examinations were conducted for posts such as Food Safety Officer and Child Development Project Officer (CDPO).

Despite repeated appeals, the Commission has neither declared the results nor provided any clarity on when they will be published.

Candidates said the recruitment cycle has stretched on since 2023. The main examination was held in 2024, but the results remain withheld with no official explanation.

"The entire exam calendar has collapsed. We have been living in uncertainty for months," a candidate at the protest site said.

A delegation of protesters met JPSC officials in the afternoon. According to the candidates, the officials once again assured them that results would be out "soon," but no written commitment or specific deadline was provided.

"For months, we have been hearing the same verbal assurance. We will not end our protest until the Commission gives a formal, written announcement," one of the aspirants said.

Several candidates questioned the lack of transparency surrounding the delay. They claimed that the evaluation of answer sheets had already been completed and that there were no known technical hurdles.

"If the exams are over and the evaluation is completed, what is stopping the Commission from publishing the results? This silence raises serious questions," a protesting student said.

Many aspirants said the prolonged wait is impacting their chances in future recruitment cycles. With age limits approaching for several categories, candidates fear they may miss upcoming opportunities due to the uncertainty around JPSC's recruitment timelines.

The protest remained peaceful, with demonstrators raising slogans such as "Results Do, JPSC!" and "Declare Our Future!"

Participants described their agitation as a satyagraha, saying they would continue it indefinitely until a firm date for result declaration is announced.

So far, no official statement has been issued by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission.

Same story in every state commission! I faced similar delays in UPSC exams. These commissions need to be held accountable. Why conduct exams if you can't declare results on time? The "soon" assurance is just a delaying tactic they've been using for years.

The age limit factor is crucial! Many candidates from reserved categories have limited attempts. This delay might cost them their only chance. JPSC should at least provide a written timeline. Transparency is the least they can offer.

While I support the students' cause, I hope the protest doesn't turn violent. Satyagraha is powerful when done right. The authorities should respond to this peaceful demonstration with the respect it deserves. These are our future civil servants!

This affects not just the candidates but their entire families. Many parents sacrifice so much for their children's education. The mental stress these young people must be going through is unimaginable. JPSC, please show some humanity! 💔

As someone working in HR, I find this delay unacceptable. If evaluation is complete, what's the hold-up? Government departments need to adopt modern project management techniques. This inefficiency costs the nation talented youth who could be serving the public.
