The SSC CGL 2017 examination papers were allegedly leaked, leading to huge protests from job seekers for several days. During the protests; the SSC had recommended a CBI probe into the allegations of a paper leak.

The apex court on August 31 last year stayed the declaration of result of the SSC CGL and CHSL Examination, in which lakhs of students had appeared, saying it seemed that the entire test and the system were "tainted". The apex court then favored canceling the 2017 SSC examination, and holding it afresh by the National Testing Agency or the CBSE "in the interest of students". However, the Centre said that there was no need for re-examination of entire paper as the leak was "extremely localized" and those behind the leaks were identified and action was taken.

The apex court favored setting up of a three-member high-powered committee on January 10, comprising Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of tech giant Infosys, and renowned computer scientist Vijay P Bhatkar to suggest reforms for conducting of competitive examinations.
