The declaration of results marks the culmination of a prolonged struggle that included delays, protests, and widespread discontent among aspirants. For many, this result signifies not only a personal achievement but also a hard-fought victory.
Candidates had raised serious concerns regarding the transparency of the selection process — from evaluation methods and answer key accuracy to the prolonged timeline for result declaration.
Protests and demonstrations were held in multiple districts, including Ranchi, Dhanbad, Hazaribagh, and Garhwa. Aggrieved candidates resorted to road blockades, petitions, and intense social media campaigns, demanding accountability and transparency from JPSC.
It was only after sustained pressure and intervention by political leaders and civil society that the commission proceeded to complete the selection process.
A total of 864 candidates who cleared the Mains examination were called for interviews. Out of these, 342 have been finally selected.
The recruitment notification was issued on 27 January 2024, and the preliminary exam was conducted on 17 March. Results for the prelims were declared on 22 April, with 7011 candidates qualifying for the Mains stage.
