The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has said that it has not banned wearing of hijab in the recruitment exams, which will be held on November 18 and 19 across the State.
Aimed at curbing malpractice, the KEA had recently announced a dress code that stated that wearing “any garment or cap that covers head, mouth, or ears” will not be allowed in the exam hall. The Hindu had reported on this on November 12.
