Tight security arrangements including three-tier inspection have been made. Observers and special flying squads have been set up to ensure smooth conduct of the examination.
Meanwhile, as precautionary measures to check incidents of question papers getting shared on social media, the CHSE has already banned a number of items in exam centres including wrist watches and mobiles.
Prabodh Panda, CHSE Exam controller said elaborate arrangements have been made for the Plus-II examinations.
“Police security has been increased at exam centres in Maoist-prone areas. Almost all the examination centres have Close Circuit Television (CCTVs) cameras.
