# CGPSC postpones interviews for 265 state service posts 2026-09-17T02:11:35+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC) has postponed the document verification and interview process for the State Service Examination-2025, citing "unavoidable circumstances". The process was scheduled to begin on September 20, 2026, for 265 posts across 20 departments. The Commission said a new schedule would be announced on its official website. The postponement comes amid demands from Congress for greater transparency in the evaluation process. Former chief minister Bhupesh Baghel had sought postponement until candidates' grievances are addressed, demanding release of answer scripts and free copies of evaluated answer sheets. He also called for model answers for the mains exam and re-evaluation of answer scripts. The ruling BJP has rejected the allegations, saying the Commission has prescribed minimum passing marks and evaluation is done by subject experts with candidates' identities hidden. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The coverage is uniform wire copy with identical facts and quotes. Both outlets report the postponement, the Congress demands, and the BJP rebuttal without adding their own framing. The key difference is the headline: Times Now leads with the postponement date and Congress demand, Hindustan Times leads with the postponement only. The balanced reading is that the controversy centres on transparency in answer sheet evaluation, a recurring issue in state exams. The next step is the revised schedule from the CGPSC website. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Leads with postponement date and Congress demand for transparency in subhead - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Straight wire copy, no additional framing beyond the postponement Tags: Bhupesh Baghel, CGPSC, Chhattisgarh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/chhattisgarh-psc-postpones-document-verification-for-265-posts/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
