The mobile internet services shut down across the state is to ensure that no incidents of question paper leak or cheating takes place.
Over 11 lakh candidates are set to appear for the exam at 2,305 centres across 28 districts. Out of these, 429 centres have been marked as sensitive centres due their geographical location and past history of cheating and other malpractices.
“The Government of Assam desires that the written examination should be held in a free, fair and transparent manner to select the best candidates purely on merit and no malpractices should be allowed during the examination; Whereas, it has been observed on earlier such occasions that some unscrupulous elements resorted to unfair means using different Mobile Applications such as Facebook, WhatsApp, X(Twitter), Telegram and Youtube etc. which are based on Internet or Wi-Fi Connectivity”, Ajay Tewari, Additional Chief Secretary, Home & Political Department said in a statement.
“The Government of Assam does not want any loopholes in the examination process which might have the potential to create doubt in the public mind on the fairness of the recruitment process undertaken by the Government and thereby creating law and order issues in the State having bearing on public safety”, it said.
The internet shutdown, enforced under the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, will serve to maintain the integrity of the examination and public safety, Tewari added.
