Tripura ADC Recruitment Examination 2024: The recruitment tests for the positions of sub-zonal development officers (SDO) and deputy principal officers (DPO) by the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTADC) administration have been postponed. This decision came after the answer key for the exams was leaked on various social media platforms. A senior official disclosed this information, as reported by the news agency ANI.
"The TTAADC administration took a decision to fill up 110 vacant posts of sub-zonal development officers and Deputy Principal Officers. In order to conduct the exams, a recruitment board was constituted. Initially, the exams were supposed to happen on June 16, 2024, but based on the requests of the aspiring candidates, we rescheduled the exams to June 9, 2024 as June 16 is also the date of UPSC prelims," TTAADC Chief Executive Officer, Chandra Kumar Jamatia, said, speaking to media persons on the issue.
"Just a day before the exams, the answer key of the question paper designed for the exams got leaked. The leaked answer keys reportedly reached the aspiring candidates and due to this unfortunate situation, we have decided to postpone the exams," he added, as reported by news agency ANI.
Jamatia also mentioned that the new date for the exams will be announced within the next ten to fifteen days. "I would like to request the candidates to keep their roll number and admit cards safe as these documents remain valid in the rescheduled exams as well," he said.

Jamatia said that, in consultation with the administration, they arrived at the decision to postpone the exams. "Apart from that, we are also going to lodge an FIR with the concerned police station and a departmental proceeding is also being initiated to punish the responsible officials," Jamatia said.
