The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) will hold the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers (REET) exam on September 26 and the admit cards for the same have been released on Friday (September 17) on reetbser21.com.
Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Police has released an alert against a piece of fake news that is being circulated on social media in connection with the REET exam.
The fake tweet mentions that the state government has announced three days lockdown beginning on September 24. This move has been taken to stop malpractices. Movement from one district to another will be restricted. Only students and essential service providers will be allowed to travel to another district. Schools and other educational institutions will remain closed.
#FakeNews Alert - कृपया ध्यान दें! #REET2021 परीक्षा को लेकर सोशल मीडिया पर प्रसारित प्रदेश में लॉकडाउन एवं इंटरनेट बंद की ख़बरें आधारहीन एवं भ्रामक हैं।
