JSSC Exam Controversy: The absence of a large number of candidates in the field worker recruitment examination of Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission has raised questions on the recruitment process. In the examination conducted by the Commission for 510 posts, about 75 percent of the registered candidates did not appear for the examination. Many candidates alleged that they found the examination center hundreds of kilometers away from home, while some said that the email informing them of the release of the admit card was received after the examination or was not received on time at all. However, the Commission says that all the information related to the examination was already available on the official website of JSSC.

Out of 3.22 lakh, only 86 thousand came to take the exam.

JSSC had issued advertisement for recruitment to 510 posts of field workers in 2024. After about 2 years, the examination was conducted on 19 July 2026. A total of 3,22,867 candidates had applied for the recruitment, but only 86,444 candidates appeared in the examination, that is, about 26 percent of the candidates appeared in the examination while about 74 to 75 percent of the candidates did not appear in the examination.

Skipped the exam due to the exam center being far away.

Many candidates say that they were allotted examination centers in such districts, where it was not possible to reach in a short time. A candidate hailing from Baharagora in East Singhbhum district was found to have an examination center in Hazaribagh, which was more than 300 kilometers away from her home. He says that the information about the center was received only a few days before the examination. It was not possible to arrange travel, accommodation and expenses in such a short time, so the examination had to be abandoned. Similarly, candidates from Sahibganj were allotted the examination center in Gumla, about 550 kilometers away. He claims that the email regarding the admit card was received in the afternoon on the day of the exam, when the exam had already started. Whereas a candidate from Hazaribagh told that his center was in Deoghar. Due to financial condition and short time he could not travel. Apart from this, the candidates also claimed that they did not receive any email related to the admit card and they got information about the examination center only after visiting the website.

Candidates from Bihar also made the same allegations

Some candidates who appeared in the examination were also from Bihar, they say that they did not get the information about the release of admit card on time. Many candidates allege that the email was received after the examination was over, due to which they could not reach the examination centre.

Coaching director said 2 year old recruitment

An online coaching operator preparing for government jobs said that this recruitment was proposed on July 5, which was later postponed till July 19. According to him, candidates should keep visiting the website of the Commission, but for a recruitment that is about 2 years old, it is not right for every candidate to keep an eye on the website continuously. He said that all the candidates do not even have the facility of smartphone. According to him, the absence of about 75 percent candidates from appearing in the examination points towards flaws in the recruitment system.
