Candidates traveling from various districts struggled to reach their exam centers even a day before the test. Due to issues such as inadequate transport, long distances, overcrowding, and other factors, many candidates were unable to reach their centers on time.

This examination is linked to the futures of lakhs of young people. Consequently, a candidate missing the exam is not merely a personal loss; it also impacts years of hard work and cherished dreams. Many candidates had prepared despite facing financial and social hardships, yet circumstances beyond their control thwarted their efforts.

It is the responsibility of the government and the concerned commission to understand the candidates' difficulties with sensitivity. If a large number of candidates were unable to appear for the exam due to administrative or transport-related issues, the matter warrants serious consideration. Principles of fairness and equal opportunity... Taking this into account, consideration could be given to re-conducting the examination or granting a special opportunity to the affected candidates.

The trust of the youth is the greatest asset of any recruitment process. Therefore, it is essential for the government to listen to the candidates' grievances and make a decision that reinforces the spirit of justice, transparency, and equal opportunity. This would not only boost the candidates' morale but also uphold the credibility of the recruitment process.
