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 Slams Government Over Exam Mess
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.
