Students in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, have been protesting the state public service commission’s decision to hold job exams in two shifts over two days. The students demand a single-shift exam to minimize the risk of paper leaks. Despite the commission’s assurance of normalized scoring and secure examination centers, the students remain unconvinced.

The protest gained political attention as Opposition parties, including the Samajwadi Party and Congress, cornered the Yogi Adityanath government. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath intervened, leading to the commission’s decision to hold the Provincial Civil Service (PCS) exam in a single shift.

However, students rejected this solution, demanding the same format for the Review Officer/Assistant Review Officer (RO/ARO) exam. The protest continues, with students accusing the government of attempting to mislead and divide them. For the latest updates on this developing story, consider checking online news sources.
