The Assam Direct Recruitment Examination to fill posts of Group III employees was held on Sunday amid tight security and suspension of internet connectivity for three and a half hours across the state, an official said.

The government had taken elaborate measures to ensure a fair selection of candidates as the state has been rocked by several recruitment scams over the past several years.

There was no report of any untoward incident from any of the 2,305 centres in the state. After the exams ended, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the first ADRE exam had concluded peacefully.

“My deepest gratitude to all the officers and staff who have successfully completed this monumental task without any issue,” Sarma posted on X. Candidates were seen queuing up before the examination centres since early morning with gates scheduled to open from 10 am. Internet services were suspended from 10 am to 1.30 pm. Heavy deployment of security forces was also seen outside exam centres.
