This will help the examination body to prevent students from cheating using mobile phones and other such electronic devices.

Kamaljyoti Gogoi, Secretary, AHSEC said that this time students leaving after one hour of the examination will have to submit the question paper along with the answer script. He also informed that candidates and invigilators will not be allowed to take their mobile phones, calculators or any other electronic device inside the examination halls.

It was also stated that Section 144 will be imposed within 50 meters of the examination centres. Experts too have been appointed to curb cyber crimes during the examinations in collaboration with the cyber intelligence committee.
