Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) will soon install mobile phone jammers at examination centres in the state to prevent candidates from cheating using high-tech means.
Newly appointed RPSC Chairman, Lalit K Panwar said that the decision was taken in a full commission meeting and got in-principle nod from the state government.
"We will install mobile phone jammers at the centers so that no candidate can use any hidden device for cheating in competitive examinations," Panwar said.
The commission also decided to celebrate its foundation day on August 20 annually, he said.
The RPSC, Panwar said, will also issue a bi-monthly newsletter covering commission's activities.
A retired IAS officer Panwar was recently appointed as the Chairman of the RPSC.
