The Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) has officially cancelled the graduate-level examination conducted in September 2025 following a major paper leak scandal. The government confirmed that a re-examination will be held within the next three months.
This move comes after weeks of protests by unemployed youth across the state, demanding action against the alleged leak of the examination paper. The decision was finalised following the submission of a report by a one-member inquiry commission to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
Details of the Cancelled Uttarakhand Graduate Exam
The cancelled exam was conducted on September 21, 2025, and saw participation from approximately 105,000 candidates. In response to the scandal, the UKSSSC formally nullified the recruitment process. Authorities clarified that the cancellation applies only to this exam and does not affect other ongoing examinations.
