SSC Exam Controversy Explodes Again as Nitish Rajput Faces ₹2.5 Crore Defamation Case

The long-standing controversy over alleged irregularities in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examination system has once again grabbed national attention. The issue has resurfaced after fresh legal action reignited debates around transparency and fairness in government recruitment exams.

Defamation Case Filed

YouTuber and educator Nitish Rajput is back in the spotlight after Eduquity Technologies Pvt. Ltd., an SSC exam conducting agency, filed a ₹2.5 crore defamation suit against him in a Delhi court. The case has pushed the dispute firmly into the legal domain.

Questions Raised Online

Rajput had earlier released a detailed video questioning SSC’s tendering and vendor selection process. Using RTI replies and official records, he alleged frequent rule changes and administrative lapses that he believes weakened the exam system’s credibility.

Aspirant Anger Grows

The video quickly resonated with government job aspirants, many of whom have long complained about technical glitches, exam delays, and logistical failures. For them, Rajput’s claims echoed years of unresolved frustration.

Company Pushback

Eduquity has accused Rajput of spreading misleading information and harming its professional reputation. Along with financial compensation, the company has demanded the removal of the video from online platforms.

Rajput Stands Firm

Despite legal pressure, Rajput has refused to take down the content. He maintains that his claims are backed by verified documents and represent genuine concerns repeatedly raised by SSC candidates.

Legal Battle Deepens

With court proceedings underway, the issue has moved beyond social media activism and street protests. Student bodies and aspirant groups are now pushing for wider legal scrutiny of SSC’s recruitment framework.

Supreme Court Hope

Several organizations are reportedly considering approaching the Supreme Court, seeking an independent investigation into vendor appointments, exam management, and accountability within the SSC system.

Past Court Signals

The renewed push comes as recruitment processes face growing national scrutiny. In previous cases, the Supreme Court has stepped in to address exam-related irregularities, raising hopes of similar intervention here.

High-Stakes Outcome

The defamation case remains pending in the Delhi court, with hearings ongoing. Legal experts say the verdict could shape the future of whistleblowers, digital journalists, and content creators relying on public records.

Symbol of Reform

For lakhs of aspirants chasing government jobs, the Nitish Rajput–SSC dispute has become more than a legal fight. It now symbolizes a larger demand for transparency, accountability, and reform in India’s recruitment ecosystem.
