After massive irregularities including mass copying and paper leaks were reported for a recruitment exam for non-secretariat clerks and office assistants in Gujarat on 17 November, students from across the state have been protesting for the exam to be re-conducted.

The agitation is underway in the capital city of Gandhinagar and with political leaders like Jignesh Mevani and Hardik Patel joining the protest, Vijay Rupani’s BJP government is under pressure.
