The recruitment examination for the railway engineer post will be cancelled if evidence of question paper leakage is found, said Public Service Commission (PSC) Chairman Sohorab Hossain.

Speaking at a press conference at PSC office today, he said a committee has already been formed to investigate the allegations of question paper leaks, which will submit a report within 15 days.

PSC will take steps, including cancellation of the recruitment examination for the railway engineer post, based on the committee’s recommendations, he said after meeting with a group of job seekers.

The job seekers formed a human chain and held a protest rally in front of the PSC building at Agargaon, demanding the cancellation of the recruitment exam for 10th-grade railway posts under the PSC.

The recruitment exam for 516 sub-assistant engineer posts in 11 categories of the 10th grade of the railway under the PSC was held last Friday.
