For four days, aspiring government employees staged a creative protest outside the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) office, utilizing catchy slogans and placards to make their voices heard.
A female protester carried a sign that quoted, ''The desire for revolution is in our hearts; let's see how strong the Commission's will is.'' Other students also made their demands visible. One demanded exams be conducted in a single shift, another declared his study spot ''the UPPSC road,'' and a differently-abled student emphasized, ''We are students, not leaders.''
The continuous protests bore fruit on the fourth day. The UPPSC announced a review committee and decided to hold the PCS Pre exam in its original format, while postponing the RO-ARO exam.
