New Delhi, July 7: Delhi government of AAP is to install jammers at exam centers of tests conducted for govt jobs. They want to prevent cheating with high-tech electronic gadgets.
Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi with his AAP government decided to stop cheating in examinations held for government jobs. As a result, the govt thought that installing jammers would help in this situation as cheating have been done using high-tech electronic gadgets. The growth of scam cases is worrying the government to get the real talent from people in the city.
The officials said that incompetent candidates are entering the government with the help of high-tech gadgets and cheating in exams. Due to this, there is a loss to govt as well as people in the state. Recently, jammers are fixed for a clerk-level exam on a pilot basis. A good output came from this, and no one are found cheating.
In this regards, the govt wish to extend this for all exams. An official said, “After successfully using the jammers in a clerk-level exam on a pilot basis a couple of months ago, the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) has decided to use the device in its critical exams”.
DSSSB was established in 1996 and the committee is said to conduct written tests and interviews. The process will be conducted for middle and lower level jobs in the state government and civic agencies. As these tests are base for a person to bag a job, the govt is thinking to make it more precise.
With the latest technologies, students are also using gadgets that are high-tech to cheat in examinations. A tiny earphone, electronic watches, etc. are being used in the centers for writing exam. Hence a mobile phone jammer is being fixed to block all the signals and disrupting the communication between the phone and person.
By doing this, there will be no more cheating cases. Recently, AIPMT got hit with paper leak case and conducting the exam again. Even students are entering with bluetooth devices into hall. This AAP law on implementation may reduce the cheating rate in exams.
