Following the results of the Madhya Pradesh Van and Jail Recruitment Test 2023, protests erupted after a candidate scored an unprecedented 101.66 marks out of 100. Candidates have demanded an inquiry into the normalisation process by alleging fraud in the recruitment examination.

As reported by PTI, agitated candidates appeared before the district collector’s office and handed over a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, demanding action and transparency regarding the examination and recruitment process.

In competitive exams, Normalisation refers to a "process for ensuring students are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by the difficulty of papers they write. The process involves revising the score of a student in a way that it becomes comparable with the score of another.”

Despite Mizoram's early dominance and superior attacking prowess, it was Bengal who seized the opportunity. Shivani Kumari (18th minute)scored the only goal of the match.
