Efficiency and Improvement Initiatives
a. Challenges faced before deployment of the project
o Poor monitoring of mal-practices in the examination hall
o Chances of not filling case due to any of the reason
o Last minute copies
o Record management
o Transportation and security issues for the Squad
b. The project was started in Oct 2014 where Board has utilized existing
cameras of the schools and implemented jammers in one of the exam centers
covering 19 schools as a pilot to prevent mal practice using mobile chat
messengers. But in case of jammers Board has not succeeded in identifying
students or teachers involved in the mal practices. From CCTV footages we
were able to identify the person involved in mal practices.
c. Exam centres where CCTV cameras were not available board have
implemented mobile technology based tablet cameras for the live monitoring
of classrooms. 5130 tables were installed across the state for notorious
centres.
d. With the help of mobile network and live streaming the all the classrooms
were monitored from central monitoring and control rooms located at
Gandhinagar.
