Good jobs have been considered equivalent to government jobs that provide a good pay and job security, achievable through clearing SSC and other government examinations. A scam taking place in the most trusted examinations is a hot button. It is a direct attack on fundamental right to equality — equality of opportunity. It should be resolved as soon as possible, as prolonging it would result in demotivating aspirants, and skepticism among the masses.

The SSC exam scam is a slap to those students and parents who tirelessly prepare for these competitive exams. This incident questions the credibility of competitive exams in the country. It also demotivates other students who are aspiring for government jobs. The government must address the concerns of students without any delay, in order to secure their future as well as retain the credibility of institutions like the SSC.

Many SSC aspirants leave their alternative career choices only to enter the system to elevate it with better knowledge in their respective field, which leads to the betterment of the system. They hope to secure their lives financially, only to realise that no matter how hard they work, someone manages to rot the system and snatch their opportunity unfairly. This dents the system, as students who enters the system through corruption, induce corruption.

The country’s youth is filled with talent, strength and intelligence and they don’t leave any stone unturned for their dreams to come true.
They can contribute in every arena of development in the nation, if guided properly.
These scams impact the hard work of millions of aspirants, and degrade their aspiration of serving the nation. The most trusted examination of the nation has left thousands of aspirants at the mercy of the system that needs to be challenged.
