Chief Minister Sarma reaffirmed the government’s commitment to increasing employment opportunities and ensuring transparency throughout the recruitment process.
He criticized previous administrations for alleged corruption, stating that candidates had to pay large sums to secure government jobs. “Under the previous government, people paid lakhs and crores for jobs. Now, only merit counts — no one has to pay a penny,” Sarma said during recent Panchayat polls and the Budget session.
To maintain the integrity of the examinations, strict measures have been put in place, including suspending internet services on exam days to prevent cheating and malpractice. With this renewed focus on fairness and merit, Assam’s direct recruitment process seeks to provide equal opportunities for all job aspirants across the state.
