Authorities have completed a repeat recruitment examination after the original test was marred by a question paper leak, according to official records. The re-conducted test saw 5,386 candidates achieve passing grades, restoring confidence in the recruitment process following the integrity breach.
The decision to hold a fresh examination was taken to maintain the credibility of the recruitment drive and ensure that all candidates competed on a level playing field. Officials had suspended the results of the initial test pending investigation into how the question paper was leaked before the scheduled examination date.
The leak had raised concerns among candidates about the fairness of the original selection process, prompting authorities to take remedial action. By administering the re-examination, recruitment officials aimed to uphold the standards expected in public sector hiring procedures.
The 5,386 successful candidates from the repeat test will now proceed to the next stages of the recruitment process. Authorities have not disclosed details about the investigation into the initial leak or any action taken against those responsible for the breach.
