Acharya Prashant, philosopher and author, has raised alarm over irregularities in the recent SSC exams, referring to these issues as indicative of a broader cultural decline.

The SSC exam, conducted from July 24 to August 1, experienced sudden cancellations, server failures, and distant exam centers, creating significant challenges for test-takers.

Describing the incidents as more than isolated disruptions, Prashant stressed their systemic nature, warning that repeated failures weaken students' trust in principles like effort and honesty, promoting a culture that values manipulation over merit. He calls for deep cultural reform to uphold integrity and hard work.
