Hyderabad:The state government highlighted its examination security measures, including QR code-enabled hall tickets, secure OMR distribution and round-the-clock monitoring before a Central task force examining reforms in the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju and senior government officials discussed examination reforms with Amrit Lal Meena, member of the high-powered task force on exam reforms constituted by the Union education ministry, on Friday. Jaju stressed the need for secure, technology-driven examination systems and said conducting examinations online would eliminate the possibility of paper leaks.
Officials explained that OMR sheets were distributed to students one hour before examinations and QR code-based hall tickets were being used for verification. A dedicated command control centre had been established at the Intermediate Board to monitor the conduct of the examinations.
Meena appreciated Telangana’s residential school system and said its model could be adopted by other states.
The task force is consulting various states to recommend reforms in the NTA, which conducts national-level examinations. It is expected to submit its report to the Centre by the end of December. Senior officials, including principal secretaries Dr Yogita Rana and Dr Christina Chongthu and TGCHE chairman Prof. V. Balakista Reddy attended the meeting.
