Jharkhand JPSC examination irregularity controversy

Overview

Allegations of irregularities regarding the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2025 have led to legal action in the Supreme Court of India. The controversy stems from the April 19, 2026, examination, specifically following the July 2 declaration of results. A viral OMR answer sheet suggested a candidate qualified despite only attempting 48 out of 100 questions.

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Harisharan Devgan requested a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe or an independent committee led by a retired judge to audit the scanning, coding, and result-generation systems.

Following a Supreme Court notice issued to the Jharkhand government regarding the petition, political figures have called for increased scrutiny. BJP National Spokesperson RP Singh criticized the state government for allegedly resisting a CBI investigation, suggesting the resistance aims to protect officials from scrutiny.
