JAIPUR: In a bid to curb cheating, the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) has introduced a new dress code for candidates appearing in upcoming government job examinations.All male candidates will now have to wear a kurta-pajama while appearing for recruitment exams in the state.Earlier, the board had prohibited candidates from wearing items such as metal chains, metal zipper pants, and jackets in an effort to curb cheating. Growing concerns over recurring paper leaks in recent years have prompted such strict and rather strange measures.RSSB Chairman Alok Raj stated that the decision was made to prevent incidents of cheating and paper leaks during competitive exams. He announced the new dress code through a social media post, informing candidates that they must now comply with the updated regulations before entering the examination centres.The board’s decision comes after several cases were reported in recent examinations where metal detectors beeped due to metal present in students’ clothing, such as zippers in jackets. Despite detecting metal, exam authorities were compelled to allow such candidates entry, raising concerns about hidden cheating devices.
