Several major examinations conducted in previous years by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, Rajasthan Board, and Rajasthan Public Service Commission are embroiled in controversies.

SI Recruitment Exam: Following a High Court ruling, the Rajasthan Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment-2021 is set to be cancelled. This High Court decision has caused an uproar, with mixed reactions of joy and sorrow. Other examinations are now also under scrutiny. Several major examinations conducted in previous years by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, Rajasthan Board, and Rajasthan Public Service Commission are embroiled in controversies. Most of these are pending investigation by the SOG (Special Operations Group).

Rajasthan High Court Orders Cancellation of Recruitment

The Rajasthan High Court on Thursday took a strong stance on the SI recruitment-2021 paper leak case and the widespread corruption within the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC). The court stated that cancellation of the recruitment is necessary. The government should recommend the cancellation of this recruitment, along with other recruitments, to the RPSC with supporting documents, and the RPSC should make a decision keeping the interests of the candidates in mind.

It was suggested that these positions and candidates should be included in a new recruitment process with age relaxations. The court also called for the filing of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) suo moto regarding questions about the RPSC's working style. Justice Samir Jain, while accepting the petitions of Kailashchandra Sharma and others, delivered this verdict on Thursday.
