The Assam Cabinet on Monday cleared the Assam Public Examination Measures and Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment Bill, 2024 to put an end to unfair practices in state/level recruitment exams.

In some other decisions, the Cabinet cleared the proposal to set up
a new state university in Gohpur, Baruah who is the state ublic health engineering, Skill, Employment & Entrepreneurship and Tourism minister, informed.
