The Jharkhand students’ protest over the alleged examination paper leak has entered its 30th day, with hundreds of aspirants continuing their agitation at Ranchi’s Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium.

In this ground report, students make explosive allegations of corruption in recruitment exams, claiming government jobs are being sold for Rs 20-25 lakh. Aspirants preparing for JPSC, JSSC, CGL and other competitive exams speak about years of preparation, repeated paper leak allegations, delayed recruitments, and the growing frustration over unemployment.

The protesters insist their movement is non-political and non-religious, urging people not to divide students along communal lines. They have also formed an 11-member delegation for talks with the government, even as negotiations remain stuck over the size of the delegation.

The report also highlights the plight of unemployed engineering graduates, who claim that assistant engineer recruitments have been conducted only three times in 26 years, despite thousands of vacancies.

Watch this exclusive ground report from Ranchi as students share their stories, demand cancellation of tainted exams, a CBI probe, and systemic reforms to restore trust in Jharkhand’s recruitment process.
