A day before the exams, the district administration is ensuring that all the necessary facilities at the exam centres are in place. Video surveillance will be carried out outside the exam centers to monitor any irregularities
In addition, special teams will be deployed at all exam centers, consisting of both mobile and stationary inspection units, with the help of government officials and staff across the districts
Facial recognition systems will be used to verify the identity of exam center personnel, including center controllers, supervisors, and other staff involved in the examination process
To prevent cheating during the exams, photocopy centers within a 500-meter radius of the exam centers will remain closed, and Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code will be imposed around the centres
Meanwhile, authorities are taking special measures to ensure students reach their examination centres on time. From prioritising students on buses to monitoring train schedules and managing city traffic, multiple agencies have stepped in to minimise delays and disruptions
