According to police, the exam was scheduled between 2 pm and 3 pm, and 4.30 pm and 5.30 pm. Trouble began when more than the centre could seat turned up for the exam.
Officials said nearly 350 candidates had already been seated when authorities realised that the number of candidates far exceeded the centre's capacity.
As confusion and protests intensified, the management informed SSC officials, following which both shifts of the exam were cancelled.

The sudden cancellation sparked anger among candidates, many of whom had come from distant districts. Some aspirants tried to block the Kanpur-Prayagraj National Highway in protest, but police intervened and persuaded them to disperse.
The situation worsened when candidates scheduled for the second shift also started arriving at the venue, swelling in number outside the centre.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Satyajeet Gupta said rumours of violence and vandalism at the centre were false and misleading.
