The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board will now levy fines on candidates who are absent from recruitment examinations. This rule will be implemented from April 1st onwards for all subsequent examinations.
RSSB Order: The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) will now impose fines on candidates who are absent from recruitment examinations. A decision was taken at a board meeting on Monday that candidates will be charged a fine of ₹750 at the time of applying for the third examination if they are absent twice.
A penalty of ₹1500 will be levied for not attending two recruitment examinations. Similarly, a total fine of ₹2250 will be imposed for not attending four examinations. This rule will apply to examinations held after April 1st.
The Congress government implemented one-time registration for recruitment examinations. This allows the government to receive fees from candidates only once. On the other hand, candidates who are absent from recruitment examinations increase the cost of examinations for the government. In the case of the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, an average of ₹600 is spent on each candidate. Imposing fines will save the government more than ₹100 crore.
