Uttar Pradesh Board of Secondary Education Education Guidelines have been issued to ensure fair and cheating free board examinations in the state.
On the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, instructions have been issued to make board examinations fair and free from cheating.
According to the guideline, 50 percent of the invigilators at the examination centers will be from outside while the teacher of the subject for which the examination is to be conducted will not be put on duty as an invigilator.
Further, no candidate will be frisked by the male invigilator and invigilators like students will not be allowed to use mobile, calculator or any other electronic device during the examination.
According to Divyakant Shukla, secretary of the Board of Secondary Education, ‘There will be two invigilators in each examination hall while there will be three invigilators in halls with more than 40 students. A releaser will be posted after every five examination halls. In the absence of the required number of invigilators at an examination centre, appointments will be made on the basis of seniority with priority given to secondary teachers, with primary teachers coming last.”
It has been further said in the guidelines that women invigilators will be posted at the centers where the examination of girl students is being conducted.
“No teacher for vested interest shall be appointed at any particular examination center on his request. No invigilator, whose acquaintances and relatives are taking the exam, shall be posted at that particular exam centre,” the guidelines state.
It further states that: “In order to maintain the fairness of the examinations, it has been decided that in the High School and Intermediate examinations of the Council, the teachers of the schools whose students are appearing at that center shall not be posted at the centre.” Similarly, the teachers of the schools run under the same management system will not be given the duty of invigilator at the designated examination centres.
The invigilators will also ensure the confidentiality and security of the question papers and also see that the examinees do not enter the examination hall with copies, mobile phones, calculators or any such electronic equipment.
The invigilator will inspect the examination hall and ensure that there is no textual material, posters, charts, written instructions on the blackboard, which may be beneficial to the examinees. Uttar Pradesh Board’s 10th and 12th examinations will start from February 16.
