As the students are gearing up for the engineering entrance exam JEE-Main, the National Testing Agency has announced additional security measures to curb unfair practices. To ensure transparency during the exam system, the apex agency will conduct frisking and biometric attendance checks not only during entry but also after toilet breaks. This move is part of the NTA's commitment to a foolproof exam process.
The security measures are not only applicable to students but also to officials, observers, and staff members, as well as those serving refreshments. Everyone
involved in the examination process will undergo strict frisking and biometric attendance checks.
According to NTA Director Subodh Kumar Singh, the organization is taking extra security measures to prevent any cases involving unfair means or proxy attendance during exams. These measures aim to ensure that the exams are completely foolproof, leaving no room for incidents of cheating. Although there are already strict mechanisms in place, the NTA plans to extend the process of screening aspirants at the entry and recording their biometric attendance to other exams in the long run.
