The Assam government introduced the Assam Public Examination (Measures for Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Act, 2024, to ensure transparency and fairness in public recruitment examinations, the Chief Minister's Office said on Wednesday.
According to the CMO, the act prohibits malpractice with penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment and fines up to Rs 10 crore, and examinees found guilty may also be barred from future examinations. This law reinforces Assam's commitment to merit-based recruitment in government jobs, the CMO said in a post on X. On September 8, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma held a meeting with District Commissioners and Superintendents of Police to discuss the smooth execution of the ADRE 2024 examination for Grade III and Class IV positions scheduled from September 15, 2024 onwards. During the meeting, the Chief Minister underscored the critical need for a transparent and merit-based examination process, instructing each District Commissioner to implement measures for a seamless examination process, including personal inspections of examination centres to ensure essential amenities are provided. He directed SPs to enforce rigorous security measures around these centres. The Chief Minister also called for heightened vigilance on social media to address any attempts by miscreants to undermine the examination's integrity. (ANI)
