The development came during discussions between representatives of the protesting students and the state government, as the agitation entered its 16th day.

The protesting students have been demanding the cancellation of the examination and an independent investigation into alleged irregularities. They have also sought a CBI probe into the matter.

Government Ready to Consider Exam Cancellation

During the talks, the state government indicated that it was ready to cancel the JPSC examination, offering a potential breakthrough for the protesting students.

However, the students have maintained that cancellation of the examination alone would not resolve their concerns. They continue to press for a CBI investigation into the alleged irregularities.

The issue has remained a major point of contention between the two sides, preventing a final resolution despite multiple rounds of discussions.

CBI Probe Remains Key Demand

The students have been protesting over alleged irregularities in the examination process and have demanded an independent investigation to establish accountability.

While the government has shown willingness to address the demand for cancellation, the disagreement over the CBI probe remains unresolved.

The continuing protest has put pressure on the state government to find a solution acceptable to the students. Further discussions are expected as both sides seek to break the deadlock and bring the agitation to an end.
