KATHMANDU, June 9: Candidates who failed a language proficiency test required for employment opportunities in Israel staged a protest in Tripureshwor on Monday, alleging irregularities after an unusually low number of applicants passed the examination.
The demonstration took place outside the examination center after results showed that only 38 out of 840 candidates had passed, according to the protesters.

Tensions escalated at the Cambridge examination center in Tripureshwor when dissatisfied candidates confronted staff members over what they described as an abnormal outcome. A scuffle reportedly broke out between examinees and employees, prompting concern at the site.
As the crowd grew, police intervened and used loudspeakers to manage the situation and maintain order.
Protesters have demanded a re-examination and a fair review of the results. Some participants also expressed anger over reports that artificial intelligence may have been used in the evaluation process, although no official confirmation has been provided.
