Overview

  • Haryana Public Service Commission advertised 2,424 assistant professor positions in 26 subjects in August 2024, marking the first such recruitment in seven years and drawing about 1.5 lakh applicants
  • Candidates reported broken seals on Political Science exam packets on May 29 and on six Hindi paper sets on June 1, prompting HPSC to cancel the Hindi test on June 3
  • In the June 8 Geography exam, 26 questions were copied verbatim and six partially from the Bihar Public Service Commission paper, following Surjewala’s earlier claims that 22 History questions were lifted from a Chhattisgarh exam
  • Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala is demanding HPSC’s dissolution, a judicial inquiry into the question-paper process and fresh examinations for tainted subjects
  • A senior HPSC officer has defended the commission’s protocols, insisting that exam secrecy and syllabus compliance prevent paper leaks
