New Delhi, Dec 21: Delhi Police apprehended students who were requesting a second chance to clear the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam while demonstrating in the Old Rajinder Nagar neighbourhood, early on Wednesday morning.
The students who were protesting earlier claimed that the Covid-19 pandemic hindered their preparations, which caused them to fail previous efforts to pass the exam.

A protester identified as Garima informed ANI stating that SSC (GD) and Agniveer candidates were given additional chances to pass the exams in light of the pandemic.
“If the government can allow extra attempts to SSC (GD) and Agniveer aspirants, why can’t it make a similar provision for us? We are protesting peacefully,” she said.
According to the students, the Centre should allow one more attempt as 18 states have already given the nod for the same.
