To prevent paper leaks and cheating during exams, the Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog (HPRCA) has banned candidates from wearing any kind of metal, including rings and mangalsutras, during exams, an official order said.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Aayog Secretary Vikram Mahajan said that female candidates will be allowed to enter the examination centre only after removing their jewellery, while male candidates will not be permitted to carry items like bangles, Bluetooth devices, bracelets, necklaces, or mobile phones.
Mahajan said the HPRCA has started the recruitment process for Group Instructor posts and admit cards have already been issued to applicants.
A total of 13 examination centres have been set up across eight districts of Himachal Pradesh for the exam, which is scheduled for November 17. He added that the advertisement for these posts was released in 2024, and the recruitment process has been underway since then.
Mahajan said candidates would have to reach their centres by 8:30 am, as entry will be closed afterwards. The examination will begin at 9:00 am sharp, he said. He also advised candidates to visit their examination centres a day before the test to avoid any last-minute confusion and ensure timely arrival.
As many as 1,559 candidates from different parts of the state have applied for these vacancies, officials said.
Candidates have been instructed to carry only valid identity proof such as photocopies of their driving licence, PAN card, Aadhaar card, voter ID, and a passport-size photograph to the exam centre.
