India’s exam scandals: How paper leaks hurt students’ job dreams | BBC News India | BPSC protests

Students in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, have been protesting for weeks, alleging irregularities in the recently-held state civil service examinations. A prominent political strategist, Prashant Kishore – who has been on an indefinite hunger strike asking for an investigation was arrested and later given bail on certain conditions – which he has refused. Students allege the exam paper was leaked. Government jobs in India are highly coveted. Public exams crucial to secure them are plagued by rampant cheating scandals and paper leaks. The BBC’s Archana Shukla gathered this report from the state of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in July last year.

Porsche case, RG Kar Case, Atul Subhash case, NEET case, BPSC protest and list goes on and people keep forgetting.

Personal space in India = non-existent!

[indranilde]

This problem is becoming quite regular in not only Bihar but rest of the states of India as well. It is high time for stringent measures.

[connecttoarun]

India has rotten from inside but a so called damagogue says, 'Sab Changa Si.' Shame on him.😢

[NehaYadav-oqst]

For those who can't afford higher education after graduation are looking for a govt job to get stable in life..skill development also needs money... Govt job preparation requires hard work not plenty of money ..but all goes in vain due to corruption...

[FreeThinker-mi]

There was total of approximately 500 crores scam in 70th BPSC exam.

As an Indian I think,
nowadays India can't conduct any election or exam or census properly. Soon we will be on the same line with Bangladesh or Pakistan. 🥂

[sauravkumarsingh]

Exam and results on time in efficient way ❌
Election and results on time in efficient ✔

Its so common. Rajasthan SI exam topper was allegedly got top by giving 25lakhs

[sfzsfz]

Uttar pradesh and bihar poverty is insane in these states

[np]

Private companies gives 10k - 15k to a employees for working 12 hours a day, which is hard for survival of one person. How a person with wife & one children can survive in that salary. Thats why people opted for government job. Atleast it gives them financial stability to run their daily household expenses.

[alphacapital]

*And Bihar govt. Is still in denial mode!*

[PankajkumarSharma-uv]
