Big change in dress code
The selection board has also changed the dress code in its recruitment examinations including CET. Now candidates will be able to take the exam wearing a full sleeve shirt. Rajasthan Staff Selection Board has made it clear that now the shirt sleeves of the candidates will not be cut. Wearing of full sleeve shirt will be allowed but the shirt should be plain buttoned. Only metallic items will be banned at the examination centres. Metal shirt buttons will not be allowed.
Let us also tell you that the provision of negative marking in CET has been removed. Apart from this, now the candidates who have scored 40 percent marks in CET will also be able to appear in the recruitment examinations for government services. Till now, candidates were shortlisted for the main examination with 15 times the number of vacancies available in various recruitment examinations. Lakhs of unemployed candidates were being deprived of recruitment due to the provision of taking 15 times the number of candidates in Rajasthan CET. Till now, in any recruitment, only 15 times the number of applications were sought from the candidates and they kept getting the opportunity again and again in other recruitments also.
