Hundreds of students in Pune are protesting over alleged leaks of exam papers for state government service recruitment tests. The demonstrations have centred on demands for accountability, a transparent process and fixed dates for examinations.

The students say the uncertainty has left their futures in doubt as they prepare for government jobs. Many are also worried about police notices, which they fear could affect their chances in future interviews.

At the protest site, Chinmay Gaikwad spoke with students who described the emotional and financial strain caused by the delays and the ongoing controversy. The matter remains under public scrutiny as the students continue to press for clarity.
