HPSC Assistant Professor Exam Cancelled For Hindi Amid Paper Leak Allegations
Last Updated:
HPSC cancelled the June 1, 2025, Assistant Professor (Hindi) exam due to paper leak allegations and technical issues.
The Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, cancelled the written exam for Assistant Professor (Hindi) posts, held on June 1, 2025. The decision comes after serious allegations of a paper leak, technical glitches, and security lapses during the test, which was conducted at multiple centres across Panchkula.
Technical Errors, Not Tampering, Says HPSC
According to HPSC, the exam suffered from major technical issues, especially in the printing and sealing of question papers. Hundreds of complaints poured in after the exam, mostly related to misprints and missing questions. Experts reviewing the situation confirmed that the errors were too significant to be fixed. However, the Commission has denied any deliberate tampering or organised paper leak.
In a notification released on Tuesday, HPSC stated, 'The Screening Test held on 01.06.2025 (Morning Session) stands cancelled. The fresh date of the Screening Test shall be announced in due course."
The controversy is not limited to the Hindi subject examination as the candidates and activists have raised concerns over the Physics and Chemistry exams held on the same day. Social activist Shweta Dhull alleged that some question papers were unsealed, violating exam protocol. Legal action may follow, as affected candidates prepare to approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Meanwhile, media reports suggest that the 2024 English subject exam, which reportedly had over 33 errors, may also be under review for possible cancellation.
Opposition parties have sharply criticized the BJP-led state government and HPSC over the incident. INLD's Ram Pal Majra said the cancellation highlighted deeper flaws in the recruitment system. Congress leaders Randeep Surjewala and Bhupinder Singh Hooda called it a betrayal of Haryana's youth, pointing out that several recruitment processes in the state have faced legal challenges in recent years.

CM downplays Nitesh Rane's ‘BJP is superior' comment
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A day after BJP minister Nitesh Rane said that his party is the "baap" (father, implying superiority) of all others, which is why it is holding the post of chief minister in Maharashtra, CM Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday downplayed the controversy surrounding these comments. "I haven't heard what he (Rane) said. I am only a servant of Maharashtra," he told media persons. A short while earlier, Shiv Sena MLA Nilesh Rane had reprimanded Nitesh, his younger brother, for the same comments. In a post on X, Nilesh, who represents the Kudal assembly seat, had said Nitesh should be mindful of his words and ensure that his comments do not offer any gains to the opposition. Nilesh, who joined the Sena after leaving BJP as part of the seat-sharing adjustment for the 2024 assembly elections, said Nitesh should not forget that Maharashtra has a coalition govt. In a cryptic reply to the post of his elder brother on X, Nitesh said, "Nilesh ji… you are tax-free." The comments by Nitesh were made while addressing party workers in Dharashiv on Saturday against the backdrop of friction between the local unit of BJP and Shiv Sena over sanctioning District Planning Development Committees (DPDC) projects. It was considered an apparent dig at Dharashiv guardian minister and Shiv Sena minister Pratap Sarnaik. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

"Gaining power in democracy does not mean anybody becomes the 'baap'. (Nitesh) Rane is experiencing a frenzy at present, but the people of Maharashtra will show him his place soon," he said. Omraje also said that he secured more votes in the last Lok Sabha elections than the combined vote share of Nitesh, his brother Nilesh, and father, Narayan Rane. While addressing party workers in Dharashiv on Saturday, Nitesh also said that no matter how much power anybody shows or throws tantrums, they should remember that the country has a Prime Minister of BJP and the state has a CM of the party.

CM says govt can't disobey courts on demolition drive orders
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday said authorities cannot go against demolition orders issued by courts and stressed that displaced residents have been provided accommodation. Her words came in the wake of the recent Madrasi Camp demolition for which the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has criticised her. AAP has targeted Gupta, and alleged that the displaced Madrasi Camp residents were provided homes in faraway Narela, and those lack basic amenities. Attending an event to mark the construction of a Jan Sewa camp at a slum cluster in the Haiderpur area, Gupta told reporters: "In the last few days, whatever demolition action was taken by the authorities, like at Madrasi Camp, the court had given directions to remove the encroachment over the Barapullah drain almost four times." The encroachment over the drain had reduced its width, causing waterlogging in nearby areas, she said. She added that the action was necessary for desilting to proceed. "Neither govt nor the administration can do anything if the court orders something for the slums. The Madrasi Camp was set up on the banks of the Barapullah drain. The court ordered the removal of this slum, so that machines could be deployed to clean the drain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo No one can defy court orders. Houses were allotted to the residents of that camp," she said. Reacting to the chief minister's comments, her predecessor and AAP legislator Atishi said that BJP's key poll promise of "Jaha Jhuggi, Wahin Makaan (houses where the slum was)" now rings hollow. In a post on X, Atishi said, "Rekha ji, did the court also say that BJP should not fulfil its promise of "Jaha Jhuggi, Wahin Makaan"? If the slums had to be demolished, then why weren't people given houses in nearby areas? Most people from Madrasi Camp didn't get any housing. Those who did were given dilapidated houses 40 km away in Narela with no jobs, roads, schools or hospitals," she wrote. The chief minister on Sunday inaugurated and inspected various development projects in Nehru Camp in Haiderpur, Ekta Camp in Pitampura, and the area near U and V blocks of a JJ cluster in the Shalimar Bagh Assembly constituency. Gupta also reviewed the laying of pipelines and construction of new roads in these areas. She said that no slum would be demolished without first providing permanent housing to its residents. FIRs will be filed and strict action will be taken against those spreading false information about demolitions, she added. She clarified that most anti-encroachment action is being carried out in compliance with court orders and target illegal occupations that are obstructing traffic or hindering public movement.
