Radio India, a news channel has also posted exam cancellation notification on X and mentiond that on the first day of the SSC CGL 2025 exam, chaos unfolded across multiple centres. In some locations, the exams were cancelled, in others they were delayed for several hours, and at a few centres, the entire system simply shut down. About 28 lakh students are scheduled to appear for this important exam students who have dedicated years of hard work, sacrificed their sleep, and carried their families’ hopes on their shoulders. An exam of such scale facing this level of mismanagement reflects the current state of the so-called “fair and transparent examination system”, which now seems incapable of securing students’ futures. Where are those who always defend the government on every issue? Today, no one seems ready to speak up.
Some more netizens posted and showed their anger.
Total administrative failure!
28 lakh students’ futures at stake, yet SSC CGL 2025 begins with cancellations, delays & system crashes. Years of hard work & dreams destroyed by sheer incompetence.
