Nitish Rajput SSC Controversy: YouTuber Faces INR 2.5 Crore Defamation Suit Over ‘Exam Scam’ Video
Educator Nitish Rajput faces a INR 2.5 crore defamation suit from Eduquity Technologies over his investigative video on the SSC. The YouTuber alleged tender irregularities and vendor favoritism, linking them to recent technical exam failures. While the firm claims his reports are damaging, Rajput stands by his data as the legal battle continues.
Mumbai, February 9: The ongoing controversy surrounding the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has entered a new legal phase as educator and YouTuber Nitish Rajput faces a INR 2.5 crore defamation lawsuit. The legal action, filed by Eduquity Technologies Pvt. Ltd., follows a viral investigative video in which Nitish Rajput questioned the transparency of the SSC's vendor selection process and alleged systemic irregularities in the conduct of national recruitment exams.
In September 2025, Nitish Rajput released a detailed video titled "Reality of SSC Exams." In the exposé, Rajput used Right to Information (RTI) responses and official tender documents to scrutinize the transition of exam vendors. He specifically highlighted the shift from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to Eduquity Technologies.
Rajput alleged that tender rules were modified and eligibility norms relaxed to favor certain private players, a move he claimed compromised the technical integrity of the exams.
