To avoid malpractices in the first annual Class 10 examination, Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has decided to put all examination centres under CCTV surveillance and monitor them live at Centralised Monitoring Centres in every district. This will be done through webcasting and app-based CCTV surveillance.
KSEAB has instructed all the Deputy Directors of Department of Public Instruction (DDPIs) to install CCTV cameras in all the examination halls and set up ‘Centralised Monitoring Center’ to monitor the live footage at either the Deputy Commissioner’s office or the office of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Zilla Panchayats in every district.
These measures come in the wake of widespread malpractices reported during Class 10 exams in 2022-23, especially in the North Karnataka region. The Board had suspended 60 invigilators and debarred many students for alleged malpractices in 2022-23.
