Rajasthan Exam Scandal: RPSC Cancels Crucial Test Amid Cheating Exposé

The RPSC has annulled a competitive exam intended for senior posts in the Local Self Government Department after breaches in confidentiality were identified. Held in May 2022, the exam saw multiple incidents of cheating, prompting investigations and arrests. A retest is planned for all candidates.

The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has scrapped a significant examination meant for filling 111 senior positions in the Local Self Government Department after a breach of confidentiality was detected.

The competitive test, conducted on May 14, 2022, was marred by incidents of cheating, with ultra-modern electronic devices being used at centres in Bikaner, leading to three FIRs being lodged on the exam day.

In light of these findings, RPSC has resolved to void the current exam results and will undertake a fresh examination for the candidates involved.
