The Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) on Saturday cancelled a graduate-level recruitment examination after the question paper was allegedly leaked, officials said.
The exam will be conducted again within three months. The exact date will be announced soon, they added.
“The graduate-level examination held on September 21 for recruitment to various government departments in the state has been cancelled,” UKSSC chairman GS Martolia said.
During the exam, three pages of the question paper were allegedly leaked from a centre in Haridwar. Over one lakh candidates had appeared in the examination for 416 posts.
Aspirants under the banner of the Uttarakhand Unemployed Union held a massive protest against the alleged paper leak after the state government recommended a CBI investigation into the case.
