Rajasthan Constable Recruitment Exams 2018: High Court Issues Notice to the State Government Over Paper Leak

After adopting strict measures in the Rajasthan Constable Recruitment Exam 2018, the government could not control the cheating menace. However, this time, it was not the students, but the authorities present at the examination centres. The exams were conducted in two shifts on July 15, morning and evening. Interestingly, it came into notice, that the question papers which were to be distributed in the evening were given in the morning to the students in the exam hall disturbing the examination secrecy. Following a petition, the Rajasthan High Court issued a notice to the home secretary, director general of police and others over question paper leaks in the recruitment examinations.

This time, to conduct free and fair exam, the state government suspended the Internet Services for two days. In fact, the Rajasthan Police Headquarters ordered not to allow the candidates to use the washroom once inside the examination hall. Adding to their strain, the participants wrote the exam barefoot, leaving their footwear outside. It seems like after such stringent measures, Rajasthan could not stop illegal activities. TOI reported that a single bench of Justice VS Siradhana issued the notice on the petition by Mukesh Jat seeking to cancel the constable recruitment exams.

In his petition, he mentioned that at some centres in Baran district, the evening papers were distributed in the morning for students to answer them. His petition demands that the examination for the recruitment should be cancelled. More information on the same is still awaited. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Police released the answer keys for the recruitment exam which were available till July 22, midnight and the results is expected to be announced soon.
