GUWAHATI: It is recommended to use mobile phone jammers to prevent mobile phones from disrupting the test of the state's subsequent XII level exams, which may cause obstacles. The funding restrictions of the All High School Education Commission (AHSEC) continue to improve the support of the technical level test center.
In recent years, following the emergence of cell phone questionnaires in the State Council’s X-level and XII-level examinations, the committee has planned to use cell phone jammer, especially in sensitive test centers.The final decision on the use of mobile phone jammers in the subsequent twelfth State Council review will only be made at the upcoming board meeting.
If funds permit, jammers will be installed in some sensitive test centers
However, in view of this Fund restrictions, the use of jammers is very likely to be restricted.
This year, more than two Lakh candidates took the State Department’s XII exam from 826 test centers, and 21 of them (mainly located in remote areas) were rated as sensitive.
- The deployment of cell phone jammers during exams is a proactive measure to maintain the integrity and fairness of the exam process.
- In Guwahati, as in many other educational jurisdictions, the prevalence of cell phone misuse during exams poses a significant challenge to maintaining academic standards.
- By recommending the use of jamming technology, the National High School Education Commission (AHSEC) acknowledges the need to address this issue and maintain the integrity of academic assessments.
Unauthorized use of cell phones during exams poses multiple risks, including cheating and exam fraud. With the increasing sophistication of mobile devices, candidates may resort to various means of communication to gain an unfair advantage. Cell phone jammers offer a solution that creates a controlled testing environment where external communication channels are inaccessible, thereby minimizing the potential for misconduct.
The decision to deploy cell phone jammers depends on practical considerations such as budgetary constraints and logistical feasibility. While enhanced security measures are imperative, funding constraints may necessitate a targeted approach that prioritizes sensitive exam centers that are at higher risk of security breaches. By strategically focusing resources, education authorities can maximize the impact of jamming technology and effectively mitigate potential disruptions to the exam process.
The use of cell phone jammers underscores the commitment to maintaining the credibility and reliability of high-stakes exams. By proactively addressing the challenges posed by mobile phone misuse, educational institutions in Guwahati have demonstrated their commitment to upholding academic integrity and ensuring fair examination conditions for all candidates.
