JPSC's advocates Sanjay Piparwal and Prince Kumar Singh told the court that candidates' objections were sent to an expert committee and the results were declared following the panel's permission. They said that even if some answers were wrong, all the candidates were affected and not just one candidate, and if there was a mistake, the examiner (JPSC) gets the benefit of it, and not the examinee.
Recently, the Staff Selection Commission of India (SSC) has postponed the selection post examinations (phase 9) 2021 for those candidates who have been allotted examination centres in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab, as these states will undergo state assembly elections. The examination will be rescheduled for the affected candidates.
