Overview
- The disruption began when a Kanpur centre issued about 819 admit cards for a hall with 399 seats, forcing cancellation of both shifts and prompting candidate protests that police later quelled.
- SSC reported technical failures at centres in Prayagraj, Muzaffarpur, Lucknow and Gorakhpur that led to cancelled shifts and venue-level suspensions.
- The Commission has denied any confirmed paper leak and told affected candidates to watch their registered e-mail and the SSC website for fresh admit cards and new dates.
- Many aspirants say they wasted travel time and money, and local police have recorded those grievances and passed them to SSC while officials promise rescheduling.
- The failures expose how clerical allotment errors and networked test systems can cascade into mass disruption, drawing political criticism and raising questions about safeguards for large CBT campaigns.
