With the Centre refusing to intervene to stop the Union Public Service Commission from issuing admit cards for the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, aspirants resumed their agitation on Friday for withdrawal of the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT).
Several persons were injured in protests in three places in the capital, one near Parliament House. The agitation had resumed on Thursday night. Aspirants had been waiting for word from a three-member committee examining their apprehension that CSAT favoured students from English-medium schools and those with an engineering background.
With members raising the issue in Parliament, Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Jitendra Singh said in the Rajya Sabha that no student would suffer on account of the alleged bias.
