Awaiting answers: On the student protests in Jharkhand

Students in Jharkhand are protesting against alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) examinations, demanding cancellation of disputed exams, a CBI investigation, and reconstitution of commissions. The protests highlight deep-rooted issues of transparency, delayed results, and lack of accountability in public sector recruitment in the state, leading to a loss of trust among aspirants. The state government has responded with investigations, arrests, and the cancellation of some exams conducted by a blacklisted agency, but faces pressure to ensure a fair and predictable recruitment system.
