Patna, Aug 19 (PTI) The Bihar cabinet on Tuesday approved the proposal of a uniform fee of Rs 100 for the preliminary exams of all recruitment drives in the state, an official said.
The proposal of the General Administration Department (GAD) was approved in a meeting of the state cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The decision assumes significance ahead of the assembly polls, due to be held later this year.
