SSC 2017 result | SC issued stay order on the resultThe Supreme Court on Monday issued a stay order on the final results of the 2017 SSC CGL and CHSL exam giving a major blow to the exam authority. In its observation, the apex court said, “Prima facie entire SSC system and examination are tainted,” reported PTI. The court also said that it cannot allow the candidates benefiting from the SSC exam to get into the service. Several cracks were identified in the SSC examination system during the CBI inquiry, which was ordered to probe the allegations of the paper leak ahead of the examination. During the inquiry, a joint team of Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force and Delhi Police busted a syndicate which consisted of solvers who help the candidate cheat in the exam with the help of software, Team Viewer. “The accused persons would gain access to the computer systems of the candidates who paid the money. The solver would then answer all the questions using the software. When the Team Viewer software could not be used, they would take control of the computer by fixing the LAN connections with that of another computer in the exam center and answer all the questions,” DSP (UP STF) Brijesh Singh had said. According to the police, the gang started operating in 2011 back when SSC papers were conducted in pen and paper mode and later switch to use of Team Viewer Software when the commission shifted to the online mode of exam. source https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/ssc-2017-result-sc-issued-stay-order-on-the-result-8645

According to the official records, seats close to 12,600 have been reported empty out of total 48,122 available seats. “These are especially in good/ reputed schools, there is no reason why parents should not report for admissions,” state the minutes of a DOE meeting held on August 16.
