The Karnataka Examination Authority has banned wearing all forms of head cover during recruitment exams.
The order said that this is part of the effort to stop exam malpractices using Bluetooth devices.
However, women will be allowed to wear mangalasutra and toe rings in the examination hall but other jewellery have been restricted.
Earlier in October, the Karnataka government had allowed students to wear the Hijab during competitive exams.
