Thousands of candidates will be among the thousands of candidates who will be taking part in the Civil Police recruitment exams on Sunday with authorities putting up very tight security measures to ensure the examination is fair, open and safe for all candidates.
The government has also issued detailed guidelines on reporting time, dress code, documents to be carried and items that are prohibited in examination centres.
The recruitment examination is one of the most eagerly awaited government job tests, attracting a large number of aspirants from across the state. To avoid malpractice and to protect the integrity of the examination process, authorities have strengthened security measures at all examination centres.
Enhanced Security at Examination Centres
Officials announced that security personnel will be deployed at all exam venues to monitor entry and activity over the course of the examination. CCTV surveillance, frisking at entry points, and identity verification will be conducted before the candidates are allowed to enter the examination halls.
The candidates should comply fully with the security personnel and abide by advice given by the invigilators and examination authorities. Entry to the hall may be denied if they do not comply with the suggested procedures or they arrive after the specified reporting time.
Reporting Time
The authorities have advised candidates to arrive at their examination centres well ahead of the time stated on their admit cards. Early arrival will allow for document verification, biometric authentication (if any) and security checks without causing unnecessary delay.
Candidates should not wait until the last minute, as heavy traffic or congestion around the examination centres could result in late arrival.

Candidates must have the following documents:
- Printed copy of the admit card
- A valid government-issued photo identity card

- Any additional documents mentioned in the examination instructions
Candidates without the required documents may not be allowed to appear for the examination.

To ensure faster security screening and minimize delays, candidates would be told to wear simple clothing to comply with the dress code.
Generally recommended attire includes:
Plain shirts, T-shirts, or kurtas without large buttons or metallic accessories. Simple trousers, pants or salwar. Flat sandals or slippers where permitted.
Candidates should avoid wearing:
- Heavy jewellery
- Watches
- Belts with big metallic buckles
- Caps, scarves or other unnecessary accessories unless allowed for religious or medical reasons
- Clothing with hidden pockets or excessive embellishments
There may also be additional verification in exceptional cases where the candidate has to be exempted for medical or religious reasons.

- Mobile phones
- Smartwatches
- Bluetooth devices
- Earphones or headphones
- Calculators

Possession of prohibited items may result in disqualification or disciplinary action under the examination rules.
Maintaining Fairness and Transparency
Officials have said there are strict anti-cheating measures in place to make sure all candidates are equally well-treated. Flying squads and special inspection teams can check on examination centres throughout the day and surprise checks will be made at examination centres.
Authorities have warned against spreading misinformation or looking to unofficial sources who may or may not have access to question papers or answer keys. Candidates should only depend on official announcements issued by the recruitment board.
