Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education board examination for Class 12 commenced on Tuesday. With special arrangements and jammers at sensitive examination centres, no cheating cases were reported on the first day of the exam. In Indore district 34,402 regular students and 7,096 private students had registered for the examinations for Class 12 Hindi examination, held on Tuesday.

This time, to prevent any kind of cheating during the board exams, the entire examination process was completed under the supervision of the District Panchayat CEO Siddharth Jain. He also visited three exam centres. The exam centres were set up only after the CEO's consent, and no private school was made an exam centre. To prevent cheating, more than 25 flying squads from the education department and administration were deployed.

During the board exams, the biggest issue in the past had been paper leaks between the police station and the centre. Therefore, this time, MPBSE appointed a collector representative for each centre. Collector’s representative at the concerned police station took a selfie and uploaded it on the app. After receiving the box of question papers, the centre head and assistant centre head went directly to the centre under the leadership of the collector’s representative. The entire route was also tracked. The question paper envelopes were opened in front of the candidates in their examination halls at 8:55 a.m., with the papers in four sets.

On Monday, just before the exam, district education officer Sushma Vaishya inspected several examination centres and reviewed the facilities, including furniture. Roll numbers were pasted in every room of the examination centre in the presence of the centre head, and the seating arrangements for the students and the duty of the supervisors were finalised. Education Department made strong arrangements to prevent cheating in the board exams. A total of 25 flying squads monitored the 139 centres in the district. These teams visited centres between 9 a.m. and 12 noon for inspections. This time, 19 centres were considered sensitive for the exams, with most private candidates appearing at these centres. Jammers were also installed at these centres.
