The deputy CM further added, “Earlier, these exams used to be stretched for as long as two and half months. We have a plan and will make the timetable accordingly.”

Cheating-Free Examinations

In the year 2018, the state government has taken various precautionary measures in order to keep a check on unfair practices during the board exams. Consequently, about 10 lakh students have dropped out the board examinations last year.

In the year 2019 also, the government is expected to keep a strict check on the exam practices and make an arrangement for ‘Cheating-Free’ exams. The deputy CM has said that this year the state government would be focusing on preventing cheating practices by installing nearly 1.25 lakh CCTV cameras with voice recording at 8,549 exam centres across the state.

The board has also decided to introduce Decoding in Answer sheets and ban mobile phones in the examination hall as well as around 200 metres periphery of the examination venue.
