Massive Student Protest Erupts in Delhi Over SSC Exam Mismanagement
In a dramatic turn of events, thousands of SSC (Staff Selection Commission) aspirants gathered in Delhi on July 31, 2025, to protest widespread mismanagement during the recently conducted S.S.C Selection Post Phase 13 Exam. The protest, organized under the banner of #SSCMisManagement, saw aspirants marching from educational hubs to Jantar Mantar and CGO Complex, demanding justice, accountability, and a re-examination for affected candidates.
Visuals of students being detained, handled roughly, and staging sit-ins flooded social media platforms, sparking national attention and political concern.
What Triggered the Protest?
The SSC Phase 13 exams, conducted between July 24 and August 1, were marred by:

Students echoed her frustration, demanding re-conduction of exams and strict accountability for those responsible.

Why This Matters
This protest highlights the growing crisis in India’s exam ecosystem, where lakhs of aspirants—many from rural or economically challenged backgrounds—depend on transparent and fair exam processes to secure government jobs.
The Delhi protest may set a precedent for future mobilizations if reforms are not introduced quickly.
