The Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) cancelled the Jharkhand Teacher Eligibility Test (JET) 2024 at two examination centers, Sardar Patel Public School in Bokaro district and ASTVS District CM School of Excellence in Ranchi, due to a shortage of question papers. This decision affected the Education (code-009) and Odia (code-023) subjects, causing frustration among thousands of candidates who were left waiting for their papers. JPSC clarified that the cancellation was not due to a paper leak or mismanagement but rather issues with the printing of the question papers. The commission has assured that details regarding the rescheduled examinations will be communicated separately. The JET is designed to determine the eligibility of candidates for Assistant Professor or Lecturer positions in colleges and universities, requiring candidates to hold a postgraduate degree with at least 55% marks, with some relaxation for reserved categories.
