Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Scores of candidates gheroed the office Professional Examination Board (PEB) that was earlier known as Vyapam on Monday and demanded probe into Teachersí Eligibility Test (TET) and police constable recruitment examination results.

Complaints of irregularities were received from across the state but when the candidates formed social media groups, they came to know that in constable recruitment exam, candidates with low marks were selected while those who obtained higher marks were left out, said a candidate protesting at Vyapam office.

Not only the constablesí recruitment, candidates alleged irregularities in Teachers Eligibility Test as well. In constablesí recruitment, the PEB hasnít issued the cut-off marks. Why?

According to another candidate, an official took protestors inside saying that they could meet administrative controller DK Agarwal. After they went inside, they were told that Agarwal had proceeded on leave.

ìThe officials took our memorandum but did not commit anything on investigating the irregularities in TET and constablesí recruitment test,î said the candidate.

The candidates came from Vidisha, Indore, Rewa, Jabalpur, Raisen and about dozen more districts. They said that they formed WhatsApp groups and would intensify protest if government would avoid investigating their complaints.
