Udaipur, April 6: The Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment exam organized by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission commenced in Udaipur on Saturday under unprecedented security measures. To prevent cheating, strict protocols were enforced, resulting in some candidates having their shirts removed and others having full sleeves cut off.
On the first day, 59.6% of registered candidates appeared for the exam across 105 centers in the city. A total of 132,628 candidates are registered, with 33,157 allocated for each session. The exam was conducted in two shifts— the first from 11 AM to 1 PM, featuring a paper on General Hindi, and the second from 3 PM to 5 PM, which included questions on General Knowledge and General Science.
Candidates were required to arrive at the exam centers one hour prior to the start time, and strict adherence to the dress code was enforced—full-sleeve clothing, jackets, watches, belts, and any electronic gadgets were completely prohibited. Many candidates faced inconvenience as suspicious clothing was removed at various locations.
Under the security arrangements, 18 vigilance teams and 179 supervisors were deployed. The exam centers were established in 36 government and 69 private schools and colleges. Due to ongoing elevated road construction and space constraints at the treasury, a temporary strong room was created at the Government Guru Gobind Singh School.
