However, the SSC has not come out with any clarification or comments on the matter, but as per the reports, an official said it was possibly a prank played by someone who is still to be identified. The Commission is looking into the case, the official said.

The exam was scheduled to be held on April 30, May 14, May 28, June 4 and June 11 at various test centres across the nation. But it was cancelled due to paper leak on the social media on April 30.

Furthermore, the commission posted the official statement saying the re-examination for only those candidates who appeared in this shift will be held in due course and they would be suitably informed accordingly.

The commission will now conduct the exam again, but the exam dates have not been announced yet. Candidates are requested to keep a check on the official website of SSC.

The selection of the candidates will be based on their performance in the written examination followed by interview. The selected candidates will be paid between Rs 5200 to Rs 20,200 with the grade pay of Rs 1800.
