The announcement of the Punjab Civil Services Examination 2025 results has led to a backlash, with candidates alleging irregularities in the selection process, including the use of a single exam centre and sequential roll numbers.
The Punjab Civil Services Examination 2025 results were released recently, triggering a wave of complaints from candidates who claim that the selection process was flawed.
Critics point out that all selected candidates appeared to have taken the exam at the same centre, in the same class, and that their roll numbers were consecutive. These patterns, they argue, raise questions about the fairness and transparency of the process.
In response, the Punjab Lok Seva Commission stated that the examination was conducted in accordance with established guidelines and that all procedures were documented. The commission has said it will review the allegations and provide clarification.
Several candidates have demanded a formal inquiry and a re‑evaluation of the selection criteria. They argue that the current process may have disadvantaged a large number of aspirants.
The commission is expected to hold a hearing in the coming weeks to address the concerns and to explain the measures taken to ensure a merit‑based selection.
