Why did we have to take the decision of re-examination
In February this year, the exam for a total of 60,244 posts was cancelled due to allegations of paper leak. The recruitment board conducted the exam on 17 and 18 February and about 48 lakh candidates appeared in this exam in 75 districts of the state. The candidates who appeared in the exam had protested fiercely. Coaching teachers were also involved in this protest along with the candidates. After this, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had ordered that the exam be conducted again within six months.
