Odisha Staff Selection Commission (OSSC) Faces Crisis as Question Paper Leaks Plague Examinations

Bhadrak Autonomous College Sees Tension as Candidates Protest Alleged Leak of ULB Accountant Exam Paper In a major setback for the Odisha Staff Selection Commission (OSSC), the integrity of its examinations has come under scrutiny with reports of question paper leaks for multiple exams. The recent leak of the Junior Engineer (Civil) Main examination question paper has raised serious concerns about the commission's ability to conduct fair and secure assessments. Adding to the growing distress, another examination conducted by the OSSC, the Urban Local Body (ULB) Accountant examination, has also been reported to have been compromised, leaving candidates and authorities deeply troubled. Bhadrak Autonomous College, one of the 138 examination centers set up across the state, witnessed tense scenes on Sunday as candidates gathered to appear for the ULB Accountant examination. Out of the 700 aspirants present at the college, some students alleged that the question paper had been leaked, leading them to boycott the exam in protest.

 Frustrated by the alleged malpractice, the affected candidates staged a demonstration in front of the college entrance, demanding justice and fairness in the examination process. The situation escalated when the examinees refused to proceed with the test, drawing the attention of local authorities. The police promptly intervened and reached the spot to counsel the aggrieved candidates, assuring them of a thorough investigation into the matter. The OSSC has also been notified of the incident and is expected to launch a full-fledged inquiry to determine the extent of the leak and take appropriate measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

The leak of question papers not only raises serious doubts about the credibility of OSSC's examinations but also undermines the hard work and dedication of genuine candidates who strive to secure their future through merit-based assessments. It highlights the urgent need for robust security measures to safeguard the integrity of examination procedures and maintain public trust in the commission's activities.As the authorities grapple with the challenge of restoring confidence in the examination system, the affected candidates and concerned citizens await a transparent and comprehensive investigation into the recent leaks, hoping for stringent actions against those found responsible for this serious breach of trust.
