While the investigation into allegations of irregularities in the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) examinations is making progress, the commission has canceled the examination scheduled to be held on Saturday afternoon, July 18, 2026, following an error in the distribution of the question paper.
In a statement, PSC said that due to an error in the distribution of question papers at an examination center in Alappuzha, the 10th preliminary examination phase 2 to be held between 1.30 pm and 3.05 pm in companies/institutions, including final year custodians, has been cancelled.
However, the PSC said that the preliminary examination for the same post, held early in the morning, went smoothly.
