Odisha Plus Two Exam: Evaluation centres to come under CCTV surveillance

Bhubaneswar: Besides examination centres, CCTVs will now be installed at all evaluation centres across the State to ensure transparency in annual Plus Two examination, conducted by Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE).

CHSE Chairman Amarendra Kumar Patnaik today directed supervisors of all evaluation centres in this regard.

Speaking to media, Patnaik said, “Both online and offline evaluation centres will come under the surveillance of CCTVs to ensure transparency and strict enforcement of regulation during checking of answersheets of Plus Two examination.”
