Assam government has recently introduced the Assam Public Examination (Measures for Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Act, 2024, to promote transparency and fairness in public recruitment exams. The law imposes stringent penalties, including up to 10 years imprisonment and fines of up to Rs 10 crore, for malpractice during recruitment tests. Offenders may also be barred from future exams, underscoring the state's commitment to merit-based recruitment.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma held a meeting with District Commissioners and Superintendents of Police to ensure the smooth conduct of the Assam Direct Recruitment Examination (ADRE) 2024, which will be held from September 15 for Grade III and Class IV positions.
