"Besides that, a video recording would also be done, which would be monitored constantly. This is basically to stop students from resorting to unfair means during examinations," he said.

"There have been instances of cheating in earlier examinations. Such instances leave a bad impression on the student's mind and also question the credibility of the exam. So, we will not allow any kind of gadget in the hall this time," he added.

Students will not be allowed to carry electronic devices into examination halls.
