Similarly, the DPUE has installed CCTV camera in many centres and
they will be set up at remaining ones soon.
“Last year itself we had plans to install CCTV cameras at all the examination centres, but could not do so for various reasons.
But this year every centre will have CCTV, “said a DPUE official. Last year cameras were installed only in sensitive PU examination centres, but this year the board has decided to ensure them in all the centres.
A special squad would carry out checks at sensitive centres to make sure that no malpractice takes place.
