To ensure a fair and transparent exam, the Assam government suspended mobile internet services for three-and-a-half hours during the examination period, as a preventive measure against online cheating. The exam featured a revised pattern with OMR-based multiple-choice questions and was conducted under tight security, with 429 centers marked as 'sensitive'. The government emphasized transparency and fairness, with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressing gratitude for the smooth conduct of the exams. Admit cards for the exams were made available on sebaonline.org, and the selection process includes a written test followed by an interview or skill test.
