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
