Postpone APSC exams: Aspirants

Guwahati: Aspirants preparing for the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) preliminary test scheduled for June 8 have urged authorities to postpone the examination in view of the devastating floods that have disrupted their preparation and displaced many candidates. The plea for postponement comes after incessant rainfall across Assam over the past week caused widespread flooding, washing away study materials and forcing numerous aspirants to seek refuge in relief camps. "The APSC examination is a critical opportunity for thousands of aspirants seeking public service positions. Conducting the exam under these adverse conditions would be unjust and discriminatory, particularly to candidates from marginalised and flood-hit regions. A postponement is essential to ensure a level playing field," said Nabadeep Borgohain, general secretary, Satro Mukti Sangram Samiti. Asom Chatro Parishad (ACP) president, Trinayan Barua expressed that the current government has been conducting various recruitment exams in a transparent way, so we request the government, along with APSC, to look into aspirants' concerns hailing from flood-affected areas. We stand in solidarity with the aspirants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The flood has particularly affected a total of 19 districts, including Hailakandi, Cachar, Sribhumi, Dibrugarh, Kamrup, Morigaon, Golaghat, Biswanath, Hojai, Nagaon, Dhemaji, Darrang, Sonitpur, Sivasagar, Goalpara, Jorhat, Lakhimpur, Tinsukia and Kamrup (Metro), where several examination centres are located.
