- RAJESH ASNANI

Male candidates will have to wear kurta-pyjama. RSSB Chairman Alok Raj announced the new dress code through a social media post, informing candidates that they must comply with the updated regulations before entering the examination centres.

Earlier, the board prohibited candidates from wearing metal zipper pants and jackets or chains to curb cheating. Growing concerns over recurring paper leaks in recent years prompted such strict, even strange, measures.
