Over one lakh candidates appeared in the Uttarakhand Lekhpal recruitment exam on Sunday amid tight security arrangements by the authorities in view of the question paper leak cases.
This was the first recruitment exam by the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission after the strict anti-copying law was implemented in the state recently.
Officials said the paper was conducted in a “fair and transparent manner” and no untoward incident was reported.
Uttarakhand PSC secretary GS Rawat said the exam was conducted at 498 centers across the state, in which more than one lakh candidates appeared.
Several paper leak cases have rocked the state in recent months, leading unemployed youths to hit the streets in Dehradun in the last few days.
Amid protests, an ordinance brought in a strict anti-copying provision mandating life imprisonment for those found guilty.
