CBSE Exam Department Faces 44% Vacancy

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exam department is grappling with a significant shortage of staff, with 44% of its positions currently vacant. This has led to concerns over the potential for discrepancies in the examination process. A parliamentary committee has taken note of the issue and has expressed fears that the high number of vacant positions could lead to irregularities. The committee's concerns are centered around the fact that a significant portion of the department's workforce is currently being hired on a contractual basis, which may not provide the same level of stability and accountability as permanent employees.
