UKSSSC Exam Rescheduled Amidst Controversy

UKSSSC Exam Postponement Announcement


UKSSSC Exam Postponed: The Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) has announced the postponement of the exam originally scheduled for October 12. G.S. Martolia, the chairman of UKSSSC, made this announcement on Friday, stating that the examination for technical positions in the agriculture department will no longer take place on that date. He noted that the commission has not yet issued admit cards for this exam, leading to its cancellation.


Approximately 600 candidates were expected to participate in this exam for around 20-25 positions. Previously, the exam for 45 posts of Cooperative Inspector Class-2 and Assistant Development Officer, Cooperation, which was set for October 5, was also postponed.


Reasons for Postponement

The commission stated that the postponement was made in response to candidates' requests and to ensure better preparation for the exam. The chairman confirmed that a new schedule for the postponed exams will be announced soon.


Cancellation of September 21 Exam

Following a paper leak incident, a student protest in Uttarakhand led to the cancellation of the graduate-level exam held on September 21. The state government took decisive action on Saturday, responding to the uproar among youth after the leak was reported. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami ordered an investigation into the matter, emphasizing that the government will not tolerate any compromise on the future of the youth.


In light of the government's decision, protesting students expressed relief and gratitude towards Chief Minister Dhami. He reiterated, “Our students and youth are our top priority. We are fully committed to their future. Our fight against corruption will continue.”


Background of the Incident

The UKSSSC conducted the graduate-level exam on September 21, but shortly after it began, the exam paper was leaked via WhatsApp. It was reported that the accused, Khalid Malik, sent three pages to Assistant Professor Suman, with his sister, Sabia, also implicated in the scheme. Both have been arrested and are currently in judicial custody.
