The minister said the deputy commissioners of districts have been instructed to declare a 200-metre area around the exam centres as restricted area. There will be police pickets near the checkpoints.
”The entire PU examination process will be held under the surveillance of police and there will be CCTV cameras for round-the-clock monitoring,” Nagesh said.
The minister reminded the students that there will be squads to check exam malpractices. He also said additional personnel would be posted in exam centres where large-scale malpractices were reported in previous years. PTI
