On the fourth day of the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly's monsoon session, Chief Minister Hemant Soren made a major announcement regarding JPSC examinations inside the House. He stated that the 14th JPSC Preliminary (PT) examination would be cancelled. Additionally, he announced the cancellation of two backlog JPSC examinations. The Chief Minister also declared that an inquiry would be conducted into the examination held through the TDPL agency. This significant announcement by the government came amidst ongoing political turmoil in the Assembly regarding student protests and alleged irregularities in the examinations.

CM Soren also shared a post on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), announcing the launch of the 'Students' Voice with Students' campaign. He noted that, so far, over 8,500 young people from Jharkhand have shared valuable suggestions for improving the examination system under this campaign. He mentioned receiving numerous important suggestions covering a wide range of topics—from OMR sheets and exam calendars to scorecards, question papers, transparency in the examination process, better use of technology, and necessary reforms within the constitutional framework for both commissions, including the JPSC.

In his post, he further wrote, "As I have stated before, our objective is not merely to discuss problems. While addressing current challenges, we aim to create an examination system that is more transparent, fair, secure, reliable, and accountable—both for the present and for future generations. Therefore, I once again appeal to all the young people of Jharkhand to continue sharing their suggestions. A single suggestion from you will not only improve the current examination system but also contribute to shaping the future of hundreds of thousands of youths in Jharkhand. This reform will not be the result of the state government's efforts alone; it will be a reform achieved through the participation of the youth of Jharkhand."

Why are students protesting in Jharkhand?
Students in Jharkhand have been protesting for several days over allegations of paper leaks, corruption, and systemic irregularities in recruitment examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). They are demanding the cancellation of the JPSC examination, a CBI inquiry into the matter, greater transparency in the exam process, and a complete overhaul of the state's examination system.
