A user on X wrote,“SSC exams are being solved using remote access. A scam worth crores is running, and the government, commission, and chairman are all silent. The question is, does this silence mean they are involved?”

Another one said,“The question is direct – will SSC give those hardworking students their rightful share, or will everything continue to be buried behind the false claims of a“smooth exam”?How long will students' dreams keep being sacrificed?”

“What should the youth of India do? First, agitate for recruitment, then struggle for exams, once the exam is held, fight against wrong question answers, and then battle against paper leaks. Even after overcoming all obstacles, one has to fight again for transparency. SSC shuts down even the download of the answer key to hide its mistakes. Instead of improving the system, it is making it even worse,” wrote another user.

The social media users are demanding the intervention of the Supreme Court into the matter.
