SSC Phase 13 Exam 2025: Protests Erupt Over Irregularities and Technical Glitches
A series of protests has engulfed the nation, with students and teachers in thousands demanding action from the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) due to suspected irregularities while conducting the SSC Selection Post Phase 13 examination. Between July 24 and August 1, 2025, the exams were filled with technical problems, cancellation of examinations, and ill treatment at examination centers.
Allegations of Systemic Failure
Students allege that the SSC's new examination vendor was to blame for the disruptions, citing a questionable track record of managing exams. The troubles involved computer crashes, malfunctioning biometric systems, and inappropriately allocated exam centers. Hundreds of kilometers had been covered by many of the students, only to have their exams scrapped at short notice.
Viral Videos Spark Anger
Social media viral clips depicted students being physically handled by security staff or personnel following the raising of genuine complaints at exam centers for exams. This turned into chaos when police were accused of unleashing lathi charges on the crowd, with increasing criticism.
Nationwide Protests and Social Media Campaigns
The protests have snowballed, with students and teachers turning to social networking sites to upload their accounts, organize protests, and call for accountability. Twitter hashtags such as #SSCMisManagement and #JusticeForAspirants are making waves, with students demanding an independent probe into the SSC's management of the exam and a review of the existing vendor's contract.
