Monitoring Measures
Acknowledging the need for increased vigilance, the UP Board implemented various measures to prevent cheating. These measures included issuing ID cards with barcodes for room inspectors, enhancing monitoring through CCTV cameras and police surveillance, and monitoring examination centres online. The innovative use of ID cards with barcodes for teachers was intended to prevent imposters posing as room inspectors. Additionally, strict supervision was enforced in sensitive examination centres, complemented by the installation of CCTV cameras with voice recording capabilities. The heightened presence of the UP Police in sensitive and highly sensitive examination centres further demonstrated the commitment to maintaining the integrity of the exams.
Tech upgradation for enhanced security
The implementation of online intensive monitoring at different administrative levels, such as strong rooms and examination centres, represented a notable advancement in ensuring the security of question papers. Command and control rooms were set up in important administrative offices like the Directorate of Education in Lucknow and the Secondary Education Council Headquarters in Prayagraj, as well as in regional centres. Furthermore, district-level control rooms were established to strengthen monitoring activities throughout the state.
