Nearly 75% of the candidates who applied to take the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission’s (JSSC) Field Worker Recruitment Examination missed the test amid complaints regarding the distance to exam centres and the alleged delay in the email intimation regarding admit cards.
The examination was conducted on July 19 for 510 Field Worker posts advertised by the JSSC in 2024. Over 3 lakh candidates had applied for the recruitment, for which the exam was held nearly two years after the notification was issued.
