JSSC CGL 2024: third-shift GK paper leaked; shift cancelled
Confidence C — based on the press record (archived below). No primary documents on file yet; treat names of agencies, dates and figures as reported, not established.
During the JSSC-CGL exam of 28 January 2024, candidates reported that much of the General Knowledge/General Studies paper — reportedly about 70 questions with answers — circulated hours before the third shift. After protests in Ranchi and other districts, JSSC cancelled the third-shift examination by a late-night notification; the exam was subsequently re-conducted in September 2024 amid continuing disputes over the process.
