Cong leader Surjewala alleges tampering in HPSC recruitment exam, seeks inquiry
Hisar: Congress leader and party general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala has called for a judicial inquiry into alleged irregularities in the assistant professor (geography) recruitment exam conducted by the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing journalists in Hisar, Surjewala accused the HPSC and the Nayab Singh Saini-led government of betraying the trust of thousands of meritorious candidates. He alleged that 17 questions in the June 8 exam were deliberately tampered with, correct answers were changed to incorrect ones, and valid questions were removed from evaluation. He termed this manipulation, especially in a paper with negative marking, as a grave injustice. Surjewala provided specific examples, stating that answers to six questions (26, 28, 35, 37, 44, and 46) were altered. He highlighted question 46, which matched a 2017 HTET question where Jean Gottman was the correct answer, but was changed to Patrick Geddes in the current exam. He also claimed that 10 questions were removed from the revised answer key without academic justification, including six (9, 17, 20, 32, 36, and 63) that were completely valid. Of questions 13, 19, 43, 52, and 76, at least two had correct answers but were also removed. Surjewala alleged that 32 questions were lifted from the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) geography exam - 26 directly and 6 partially. He said that even HPSC chairman Alok Verma is from Bihar, suggesting the source paper may have been leaked to favoured candidates. He also pointed out that no assistant professor (college cadre) appointments have been made in Haryana since 2019. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In Aug 2024, HPSC advertised 2,424 posts across 26 subjects, attracting over 1.5 lakh applicants. Surjewala cited previous controversies, including the May 29 political science paper, where the seal was found broken, and the June 1 Hindi exam, where six question paper envelopes were open and 27 questions were incorrect. Despite this, HPSC chairman dismissed concerns, blaming packing errors. The Hindi paper was later cancelled on June 3 following public outrage. Surjewala concluded by demanding an independent judicial inquiry to uncover the truth and ensure justice for thousands of deserving candidates.

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.

HPSC cancels Hindi exam for asst prof posts amid claims of paper leak, tampering
Chandigarh: The Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) on Tuesday cancelled the written examination for Hindi for recruitment of assistant professors in the subject in the state's colleges. The cancellation came amid allegations of question papers being tampered with, security lapses, and the question paper being leaked on the day of examination. The exam was held on Sunday, and thousands of candidates from Haryana and other states appeared for it at various examination centres in Panchkula city. In a notification on its website, HPSC asked candidates to await an announcement regarding a fresh date for the exam. HPSC had advertised 2,424 posts of assistant professors for 26 subjects in Haryana colleges. After receiving applications, HPSC conducted the selection exams in May. On Sunday, the examination for physics, chemistry, Hindi, and other subjects, was held. Sources in HPSC said there were technical lapses in the printing of question papers, along with some issues related to substandard seals on question papers given to candidates. However, they dismissed any tampering or incidence of paper leak. "Soon after the exams, we received hundreds of emails about technical mistakes. We put these before subject experts, who endorsed the same. As errors (largely printing ones) were beyond correction, we decided to cancel the exam. There was no tampering, lapse, or secrecy breach," the official claimed. Blaming the Saini-led BJP govt and the HPSC for the leak, the opposition leaders termed it as a glaring example of "parchi-kharchi" (wrongdoings). "It was not just Hindi, but the same shortcomings were observed in other exams. Candidates who appeared in the exam for Hindi and other subjects are now prepared to move the Punjab and Haryana high court. There are also allegations that six out of a set of 24 question papers were found to be unsealed or opened," said Shweta Dhull, an activist who monitors the recruitment processes. INLD state president Ram Pal Majra said the cancellation had exposed the BJP govt's functioning. Former Haryana CM Bhupinder Hooda and Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Surjewala termed the alleged leak as a betrayal of lakhs of educated youth in Haryana. "There is hardly any recruitment that is not being challenged in court or has not faced allegations of wrongdoing," Surjewala pointed out. HPSC is also planning to cancel the written exam for English held last year, which was challenged by several candidates after more than 33 mistakes were found in the paper. Not the first time There have been numerous instances of question papers being leaked in various examinations conducted by the HPSC in the past five years. HPSC cancelled the written exam for selection of 81 dental surgeons (Class-2) in the health department, which was originally scheduled for Sep 26, 2021 due to "irregularities and allegations of corruption in the examination process". The state vigilance bureau had arrested four persons, including deputy secretary of HPSC Anil Nagar, on charges of corruption. HPSC has also decided to cancel the written examination for recruitment of assistant professors of English held in 2024 after the candidates complained of glaring technical mistakes. Apart from the paper leaks, writ petitions have been filed against the govt and the HSSC by candidates. In the most recent case, the court has struck down the marks for socio-economic criteria, making many candidates fear loss of their jobs.
