The student protests in Uttar Pradesh entered their fourth day on Thursday, with protesters floating the ‘one day, one exam’ demand for Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) entrance. Visuals emerged showing scores of students staging agitation in cities such as Prayagjraj, while opposing the UPPSC’s decision to split the exams into two days.

The commission’s Review Officer and Assistant Review Officer Preliminary Examinations are scheduled for December 22 and 23. Similarly, the Provincial Civil Service Preliminary Examination is set for December 7 and 8.

Students are demanding the exams be held on a single day, a practice that was followed earlier but later scrapped.
