Cancel OSSSC RI, Amin recruitment exam, demand aspirants in Odisha alleging irregularities

Hundreds of aspirants took out a massive rally in Cuttack on Thursday to demand cancellation of RI, ICDS Supervisor, ARI, Amin and SFS exams conducted by the Odisha Subordinate Staff Selection Commission (OSSSC), alleging large-scale irregularities in the conduct of the examination. .

The candidates took out the rally from Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Bus Stand in Badambadi and marched towards the collector’s office demanding cancellation of the exam.

Demanding a transparent exam, an agitating candidate said, “The government has deployed blacklisted companies to conduct the exam. We demand the immediate cancellation of the exam. If our demand is not met, we will intensify our protest.”

“We will submit a memorandum to the collector addressing the chief minister. The government has tasked blacklisted companies with carrying out this review. We request the CM to address our grievances,” said another aspirant.

“Students study for 12 to 14 hours to appear for the competition. They survive on a Rs 5 Aahaar meal while studying for hours in the library. But the way the exam is conducted is ruining the candidates’ careers,” lamented another candidate.

Earlier in the day, the residence of state Higher Education Minister Suryabanshi Suraj in Bhubaneswar was invaded by the candidates, alleging large-scale irregularities in the recruitment process.

Notably, the preliminary recruitment examination began on September 20 and will continue until October 20. The OSSSC is conducting a recruitment campaign to fill a total of 2,895 vacant positions.

Earlier on September 30, tensions erupted in Nayapalli area of Bhubaneswar after aspirants created a ruckus over the conduct of the exam at an internet cafe.
