Overview
- The Punjab Public Service Commission declared the PSCSCCE 2025 Mains results on November 4 and shortlisted 751 candidates for interviews against 331 advertised vacancies, a count that candidates say breaks the usual shortlisting norm.
- Aspirants circulated analyses showing 86 shortlisted candidates in 26 groups of consecutive roll numbers and alleged that one centre accounted for about 24.21% of selections, with 10 to 11 qualifiers reported from some exam rooms.
- Protesters say some roll numbers listed as selected belong to candidates who were absent on exam day and that PPSC did not call three times the vacancies for interviews as commonly required under the commission’s selection practice.
- Candidates submitted a memorandum to the President, the Prime Minister, the Punjab chief minister and the CBI demanding an independent investigation and warned they may file a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court if their concerns are not addressed.
- Political figures including former Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar have amplified calls for a CBI probe and the PPSC has not issued a substantive public rebuttal in the reports reviewed, making an official commission response the next key development to watch.
