Gujarat Technological University tightens its exam norms

AHMEDABAD: Worried by the incidents of paper leak, the Gujarat Technological University (GTU) has put in place a set of stricter guidelines for the conduct of the examination beginning May 19. 

As part of this, it has decided to ban centres which do not have CCTV cameras installed. GTU has said that no college can be a centre where CCTV cameras are not there. 

It has also decided that the downloading and printing of the question papers will have to be done in the presence of senior staff members of the college concerned. The password for opening the question paper will be sent to the coordinator on his/her mobile and the same will have to be opened and then printed in the presence of several senior staff members. GTU officials said that the entire process should be videographed. 

Apart from the coordinator, no other staff member will be allowed to carry the mobile phone. The supervisor and the invigilator will not be allowed to carry their phones. 

The university has also made it compulsory that any student who gets out of the examination hall will have to mention his seat number, the time he leaves and the time he returns in the logbook. 

The university does not want to leave any chance where the question paper can be circulated on the social media.
