UKSSSC Exam Rescheduling Amid Paper Leak Scandal

The Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) exam, scheduled for October 5, has been postponed due to a paper leak scandal. Khalid Malik is accused of leaking the papers from a Haridwar centre. The postponement allows authorities to strengthen measures and possibly involves the CBI.

The UKSSSC exam, initially set for October 5, has been postponed, according to an official announcement on Thursday. This decision follows a review of preparations and requests from candidates.

The examination for Cooperative Inspector Class-2 and Assistant Development Officer was affected by a paper leak scandal. Khalid Malik, the main accused, allegedly captured images of the paper from a Haridwar centre, sparking widespread concerns.

Steps to secure future exams involve using jammers and stricter searches, including in washrooms. The state government is pushing for a CBI investigation, responding to public outcry over the issue.
