They secured more marks but the state government put them on hold and gave joining to those candidates who secured less marks.

That's why candidates with good marks are forced to hold protests and they will also go on indefinite strikes, added Arunodya Parmar. "We will call it a scam. I think because there is a 50% commission government in Madhya Pradesh, that's why selected sub engineers are unemployed," Parmar alleged.
