UPPSC Protest: Students’ big question to the government, why can’t there be an exam in one day like in Bihar?

UPPSC Protest: The students who have been protesting in Prayagraj for three days are demanding that the exam be held in one shift. The students argue that if it can be done in Bihar, why not in UP?

UPPSC Protest: The students in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, who are protesting against the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC), are questioning the system. They are demanding that the PCS 2024 and RO/ARO 2023 preliminary exams be held in one day and one shift. The students argue that if the neighboring state of Bihar can hold its joint civil service preliminary exam in one day, why can’t Uttar Pradesh do the same? Has UPPSC gone back on its promise?

UPPSC has around 5.5 lakh applicants

In fact, in Bihar, 38 districts have been scheduled to hold the exam on November 13, and around 4.5 lakh applicants have applied. On the other hand, UPPSC has around 5.5 lakh applicants. The protesting students are asking the government why the exam can’t be held in all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. What is the compulsion that is limiting the exam to only 41 districts?

Divyang students also join the protest

Thousands of students are participating in the protest outside the UPPSC office. Along with boys, girls are also participating in the protest, and divyang students are also joining the protest with full enthusiasm. The divyang students are saying that the standardization will lead to discrimination, and they will not leave the protest site until the decision is reversed.

Protests spread to several districts

The protest against UPPSC has spread to several districts. In Lucknow, students protested for the second consecutive day. In Meerut, students took out a procession in the morning. In Gorakhpur, students took out a candle march. In Jalaun, students took out a rally. In Lakhimpur Khiri, students submitted a memorandum to the district magistrate.
