Udaipur, March 1, 2025- The Rajasthan Teacher Eligibility Test (REET) 2024 was conducted smoothly. On the last day of the two-day exam, 4.97 lakh candidates appeared. In 2022, the REET result was declared in 66 days. However, this year, the board aims to release the results sooner.

Dress Code Issues at Exam Centres

On the first day of the exam, many candidates arrived without following the prescribed dress code. Some were denied entry, while others made last-minute changes to their attire to appear for the exam. Education Minister Madan Dilawar said that the REET exam was conducted with strict security measures across the state.

Attempt of Cheating

The police arrested two individuals for attempting to facilitate cheating. The accused include a college operator and a furniture businessman. They were caught before the exam started. The arrested individuals were identified as Ganesharam from Devda, Jalore, and Bhikharam from Sanchore. During interrogation, it was revealed that Bhikharam had accompanied Ganesharam to help his son, daughter, nephew, and niece in the exam. However, no evidence has been found against these four candidates.

Jalore SP Gyanchandra Yadav said that the police received information about two suspicious persons staying in a hotel without ID proof. Acting on this tip-off, the police arrested them before the exam began.

The police recovered Rs 1 lakh in cash, four mobile phones, and some documents from the suspects. Chat messages related to cheating were also found on their phones. Board Secretary Kailash Chandra Sharma clarified that the suspects were not caught at the exam centre and were not REET candidates.

Board Confirms No Cheating Incidents During Exam

Board Secretary Kailash Chandra Sharma confirmed that no incidents of cheating or unfair means were reported during the examination. The exam was conducted peacefully on both days.

Last year, the REET exam was held on February 26, 27, 28, and March 1. The answer key was released on May 18.
