Amid agitation over the alleged paper leaks in Jharkhand, the State government held talks with several protesting outfits on Saturday.
However, it failed to reach a consensus, with the aspirants stating that they would continue to protest until 'all' their demands are met.
The ruling JMM's students' wing Jharkhand Chhatra Morcha (JCM) placed five demands before the government panel, including the cancellation of the 14th Jharkhand PSC Civil Services Examination.
The government panel's first meeting was with Mahto's grouping, JPSC JSSC Candidates' Forum, and it lasted around two hours.
However, our protests will continue until all our demands, including cancellation of the 14th JPSC exam, are met," a leader of the forum said.
