The Act regulates recruitment exams in Assam by strictly prohibiting unfair means such as question paper leaks, answer sheet tampering, impersonation, and interfering with online systems. It applies to the State Government, recruitment authorities, candidates, and any institution facilitating dishonest practices. This law matters because it enforces integrity in state hiring, ensuring that merit remains the sole basis for appointments while imposing severe penalties, including imprisonment and heavy fines, to deter corruption and manipulation within the examination process.
