To ensure a fair, smooth, and cheating-free environment, CCTV cameras have been installed at all centers.

Moreover, police officers on duty at centers have been provided with body-worn cameras.
This year, exams will be held in 77 subjects over 21 days. On days without exams, regular class activities will continue at educational institutions.
