As part of its commitment to hold fair and transparent examinations in the state, the Yogi Adityanath government has issued guidelines for the forthcoming BEd entrance exam 2023.
As per the directions, the exams will be conducted in a complete transparent, cheating-free, and organised manner. After successfully conducting the UP Board exams in an absolutely fair manner, preparations are now underway to conduct the Joint BEd Entrance Examination 2023 in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision of transparency.
This year, Bundelkhand University will be conducting the BEd entrance examination under live CCTV surveillance.
The university has made foolproof arrangements for conducting the examinations by introducing biometrics and face recognition system for registering the attendance of all the candidates in both the shifts.
With the assistance of the district administration, proper security arrangements are being made at all the exam centres. A centre representative and a static magistrate will be deployed at the examination centres. It may be mentioned here that the BEd Joint Entrance Examination 2023 will be conducted simultaneously in all 75 districts of the state on June 15, and approximately 4.73 lakh candidates will be appearing in it.
To implement the Yogi government’s instructions, a detailed presentation regarding the integrity, security and safety of the examination was made before Chief Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra. According to the presentation, live CCTV surveillance has been provided in all the centres across the state, which will be operationalised by the university by June 12.
Besides, each district will have a city incharge appointed by the district magistrate while there will also be a centre representative at two centres. A static magistrate will be appointed at each examination centre. Supported by the representatives of Bundelkhand University, there will also be a nodal officer and deputy nodal officer.
The entrance examination has been divided into three components, which include the administration of all districts, besides Bundelkhand University, and 16 other nodal universities. Notably, complete information regarding their roles and responsibilities has been provided to everyone.
The district magistrate will appoint the city incharge who will be responsible for handling all examination-related confidential material (including OMR sheets and papers) from depositing it in the district treasury to delivering it to the examination centre.
Thereafter, all confidential materials will be opened at the designated time in the presence of the static magistrate. Apart from ensuring the distribution and collection of question booklets and OMR sheets, inspection during the examination will also be the responsibility of the static magistrate.
Bundelkhand University has made arrangements for the robust security of confidential materials related to the examination. The assistance of the district administration and the police will be sought for this purpose.
According to the directives, along with the centre representative, an armed police constable will also be deployed to transport the confidential materials from the treasury to the examination centre. Similarly, appropriate arrangements will be made for police forces and escorts at all examination centres. Keeping in line with the security instructions, two armed police personnel will accompany the representatives from Bundelkhand University during the dispatch of confidential materials to Jhansi.
