The recent Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) exam, held on Sunday, is now under scrutiny after several complaints about how it was conducted. In response, the state government has ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the matter. The inquiry will be supervised by a retired High Court judge.
Chief Secretary Anand Vardhan told mediapersons that the SIT would be led by an officer of Additional Superintendent of Police rank. Its authority will cover the entire state, allowing it to investigate reports of malpractice or negligence wherever they may have occurred. The government said the move was aimed at protecting the credibility of the exam and maintaining the trust of candidates who appeared for it.
To ensure fairness, the SIT will be overseen by a retired judge. The team will also visit different districts, and students, residents, or anyone with relevant information can submit evidence or details about the case.
The investigation is expected to finish within a month. Meanwhile, the Commission will refrain from taking any further action regarding the exam. Officials assured that strict measures would be taken against anyone found responsible, and steps would be introduced to prevent such problems in the future.
Haridwar, which has been a key point of the controversy, will receive special focus during the inquiry. Authorities said any negligence or lapses found there would be dealt with firmly.
The case has drawn widespread attention, especially from students and aspirants whose futures depend on fair recruitment exams. The government emphasised that both candidate interests and public trust in the recruitment process will guide the SIT’s work.
