Nitish Rajput SSC Controversy: Eduquity Files ₹2.5 Crore Defamation Case

A controversy has erupted involving YouTuber Nitish Rajput and Eduquity Technologies over the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) exam process, leading to a ₹25 crore defamation lawsuit against Rajput.

The issue began when Rajput released a video questioning the fairness of the SSC exam process and the appointment of exam-conducting companies, using documents obtained through RTI and public records

Rajput's video quickly went viral, resonating with many students who have previously voiced concerns about technical glitches, server crashes, and delays in SSC exams

Eduquity Technologies claims that the information in the video is misleading and damaging to their reputation, prompting them to seek damages and the removal of the video

In response, Nitish Rajput has refused to take down the video, asserting that his intent was to highlight issues within the examination system and promote transparency, not to defame the company

The controversy has escalated beyond social media, with student organizations demanding a judicial inquiry and an independent review of the SSC recruitment process

There are reports that student groups may take the issue to the Supreme Court, aiming to bring about stricter guidelines for government recruitment exams

The case is currently in court, and its outcome will determine whether the video is deemed defamatory or a legitimate public interest analysis

This controversy has become emblematic of a broader demand for transparency and accountability in India's government job recruitment exams

The issue reflects ongoing concerns about the integrity of the recruitment process, with hopes that judicial intervention may lead to necessary reforms
