Santhali Candidates Demand Re‑test of Jharkhand Staff Selection Exam Over Out‑of‑Syllabus Questions

The Jharkhand Staff Selection Examination, held on March 15, was intended to recruit candidates for various state government posts. Several Santhali-speaking aspirants have raised concerns that a number of questions in the paper were not covered in the prescribed syllabus and contained factual inaccuracies. They argue that such discrepancies compromised the fairness of the test. The candidates have submitted a formal petition to the Jharkhand Public Service Commission, demanding a re‑test and a review of the exam paper. The commission has acknowledged receipt of the complaint and is reportedly reviewing the allegations before deciding on the next steps.
