The Supreme Court will take up a plea seeking a CBI investigation into JSSC-CGL recruitment irregularities on September 16, after the hearing was rescheduled from September 11.

The postponement of the case, Harishan Devgan v. State of Jharkhand, was linked to security arrangements surrounding the BRICS Summit in Delhi.

The JSSC-CGL exam was cancelled by the Jharkhand government on August 17, after a 24-day student protest over alleged irregularities in recruitment exams.

A Special Investigation Team probing the matter has questioned 37 suspects so far, while students continue demanding a CBI probe, citing distrust of the state CID.

No fresh JSSC-CGL exam date has been announced as of today, with candidates advised to track the official JSSC website for updates.

Protesting students’ central demand remains a CBI investigation into the recruitment irregularities, as they say they do not trust the state CID after its earlier probe into the JSSC exam.

A Special Investigation Team formed to investigate irregularities in the JSSC-CGL exam has questioned 37 suspects so far as part of its accelerated inquiry.

The Supreme Court case, titled Harishan Devgan v. State of Jharkhand, includes intervention applications filed by the JPSC JSSC Reform Manch seeking a CBI probe.

The Reform Manch has said the legal battle is not about any single candidate or recruitment advertisement, but about transparency in Jharkhand’s administrative recruitment structure.

Some JSSC-CGL qualified candidates have separately moved court against the exam’s cancellation, arguing it unfairly affects those who cleared the exam without any wrongdoing.

No fresh JSSC-CGL exam date or new notification has been announced by the commission as of today, with aspirants advised to monitor the official JSSC website for updates.

The long-awaited SSC Junior Hindi Translator Paper-I exam date arrived on Tuesday, September 8, with candidates sitting for the test at centres nationwide.

The Staff Selection Commission had made admit cards available on September 6, two days before the exam.

Hall tickets were downloaded from the official SSC website using registration or roll number along with password or date of birth.

Candidates were told to bring a printed admit card, valid photo identification, and two recent passport-size photographs to their exam centre.

The JHT exam is conducted to fill translator posts across the Central Translation Bureau and other government departments.

Paper-I of the SSC JHT exam is conducted as a computer-based test, with candidates required to reach their allotted centre well ahead of the reporting time specified on the admit card.

The Staff Selection Commission conducts the JHT exam periodically to recruit translators for the Central Translation Bureau and various other government departments.

No physical admit cards are sent by post for SSC exams; candidates are required to download and print their own hall tickets from the commission’s website.

Exam city intimation slips, which tell candidates which city their centre will be in, are typically released before the admit card itself as a separate notification.

SSC has separately been processing other recruitment exams this admission cycle, including notifications for various technical and non-technical posts across central government offices.

The Staff Selection Commission released the SSC JHT 2026 admit card on September 6, two days ahead of the Paper-I exam, giving candidates time to verify their exam centre and details.

Candidates were required to download their admit card from the official SSC website using their registration or roll number along with their password or date of birth.

SSC instructed candidates to carry a printed copy of the admit card along with a valid photo ID and two recent passport-size photographs to the exam centre.

Jaipur candidates affected by a NEET PG 2026 disruption are set to reappear for the exam today, September 5.

The re-exam, scheduled for 3 PM, covers 2,445 candidates from two iON Digital Zone Sitapura centres, TC 41682 and 41683.

The original session was disrupted after computers at the centre shut down repeatedly, as many as 10 times over two hours.

NBEMS attributed the disruption to TCS Ltd., the agency conducting the computer-based test, and apologised to affected candidates.

Revised admit cards and venue details for the re-exam were issued separately ahead of today’s sitting.

NEET PG 2026 was originally held on August 30 across the country, with the Jaipur disruption affecting only a subset of candidates at the two named centres.

The National Board of Examinations for Medical Sciences, which conducts NEET PG, has previously faced scrutiny over technical glitches at computer-based test centres in past exam cycles.

NEET PG results for candidates who were not affected by the Jaipur disruption remain on schedule, with NBEMS having indicated the overall result is expected around September 30.

The scale of the disruption, affecting thousands of candidates at a single location, has renewed scrutiny of the reliability of third-party vendors used for large-scale computer-based examinations in India.

NEET PG determines admission to postgraduate medical courses across India, making the fairness and reliability of each testing centre a significant concern for candidates nationwide.

At the iON Digital Zone centre in Sitapura, Jaipur, computers reportedly shut down repeatedly, up to 10 times over a two-hour window, disrupting the exam for affected candidates.

NBEMS attributed the technical failure to TCS Ltd., the agency responsible for conducting the computer-based test, and issued an apology to the candidates affected.

The re-exam covers candidates from test centre numbers 41682 and 41683 at the Sitapura facility, the two centres where the disruption occurred.
