The eight notifications cover examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission and those handled by outsourced agency TSR Data Processing Pvt Ltd.
The Jharkhand government on Tuesday released a list of 44 recruitment examinations cancelled over alleged irregularities, a day after Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced the scrapping of the JSSC-Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exam amid protests by students.
The eight notifications issued late on Tuesday night cover examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and those handled by outsourced agency TSR Data Processing Pvt Ltd (TDPL) since 2014.
The cancelled examinations include recruitment tests for drug inspectors, assistant professors, deputy collectors, dental doctors, assistant engineers, civil judges, additional public prosecutors and forest range officers.
Fast-Track Court, Vigilance Cell Proposed
Other affected examinations include those for lecturers in government polytechnics, senior scientific officers, assistant conservators of forests and several administrative and technical posts.
The government said it would request the Jharkhand High Court to constitute a fast-track court to hear cases related to alleged irregularities in the JPSC and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). It also announced plans to set up an internal vigilance cell in both commissions.
A committee headed by senior IAS officer Amitabh Kaushal, formed to recommend reforms in the JPSC and JSSC examination system, has been given two months to submit its report.
