Practice questions
Q1What was the main reason for bringing The Rajasthan Public Examination (Measures for Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Act, 2022?
The Act was brought in the background of repeated question-paper leaks, dummy candidate cases and organised cheating networks in recruitment tests. These practices damage honest aspirants by wasting their time and money, and they also reduce confidence in recruitment bodies. The key purpose is therefore to protect fair competition in Rajasthan state recruitment examinations. Regulating ordinary school examinations, replacing recruitment bodies, or removing written tests does not match the field or object of this law.
Q2Under the 2022 Rajasthan recruitment-exam law, what consequence is specifically attached to a candidate convicted of using unfair means, apart from imprisonment and fine?
For a candidate, the Act uses a combined penalty approach: imprisonment, fine and an examination consequence. The examination consequence is debarment from future public examinations for 2 years. This matters because cheating is meant to gain entry into public service; debarment removes that recruitment benefit for a fixed period. A permanent ban is reserved for guilty management, institution or LLP, not an ordinary convicted candidate.
Q3Which one of the following is incorrect about offences under the 2022 Rajasthan recruitment-exam Act?
All offences under the 2022 Act are cognizable, non-bailable and non-compoundable. Cognizable points to stronger police action; non-bailable means bail is not automatic; non-compoundable means the matter cannot be ended by a private compromise between the parties. Therefore, the claim that parties can privately settle and close the offence is the incorrect statement.
Q4Match List I with List II about the 2022 Act and the 2023 amendment. List I (a) Governor's assent to the 2023 amendment (b) Property attachment/confiscation (c) Section 10 after the 2023 amendment (d) Formal amendment number List II 1. 5 August 2023 2. Section 12 of the 2022 Act 3. Not less than 10 years, extending to life imprisonment 4. Act No. 17 of 2023
Each pair tests a year-wise distinction. The Governor's assent to the 2023 amendment was on 5 August 2023, and the formal amendment was Act No. 17 of 2023. Property attachment and confiscation belong to section 12 of the 2022 Act, not to a new 2023 insertion. Section 10 after amendment carries punishment of not less than 10 years, extending to life imprisonment. These four links make the matching complete.
Q5Assertion (A): Property action under the 2022 Act is important because organised paper-leak offences may create unlawful gains. Reason (R): Section 12 of the 2022 Act provides for attachment and confiscation of property derived from the offence.
Organised paper-leak networks may sell papers, arrange dummy candidates or run answer-solving operations for profit. That is why action against property matters: it targets the gain made from the offence, not just the cheating act. Section 12 of the 2022 Act provides for attachment and confiscation of property derived from the offence, so the reason is true and it directly explains the assertion.
