Thousands of aspirants protested outside UPPSC headquarters in Prayagraj on November 11, 2024, demanding a single-day exam for RO-ARO and PCS
UPPSC had scheduled RO-ARO exams on December 22-23 in three shifts and PCS exams on December 7-8 in two shifts
Protesters argued that holding exams on different dates would cause confusion and unfair scoring
The protesters clashed with police after being prevented from holding their sit-in at the gates, leading to a lathi charge
Students raised slogans like "na batenge na hatenge" and demanded a consolidated exam schedule
Nearly 8,000 students gathered at the protest site with heavy police deployment
Aspirants raised concerns over normalisation and changes to the exam schedule, fearing unfair results
Students are awaiting a response from UPPSC officials and continue to demand a single-day exam
