More than 5.65 lakh candidates appeared for the Jharkhand Teacher Eligibility Test (JTET) across the state on Sunday, marking one of the largest education recruitment examinations in recent years. The test, mandatory for government school teacher aspirants, was conducted by the Jharkhand Academic Council under strict security measures to prevent malpractice. One candidate was detained in Palamu for attempting to leave with his OMR sheet and question booklet. A constable on duty died in a road accident in Palamu, and another constable misplaced his rifle, which was later recovered.
