Overview
- UKSSSC officials said the October 5 test was deferred after candidate requests and incomplete preparations, with the new date to be announced later.
- Uncertainty now surrounds the October 12 exam, which the commission said it would clarify after further review.
- Just days earlier, the commission promised to run exams through June 2026 and detailed tighter protocols including biometric checks, frisking, mobile jammers, centre sanitisation, early reporting and footwear removal during searches.
- Police say the main accused confessed to hiding a phone at the centre to photograph three pages of the paper and send them to his sister, prompting arrests and a probe overseen by judicial supervision.
- Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami told students he would recommend a CBI probe, while opposition leaders say a formal recommendation has not been issued; the recruitment drive covers 10,000–12,000 posts, with exams for roughly 4,500–5,000 already held.
