Ensuring Smooth Conduct of APSC Competitive Examinations: Guidelines and Prohibitory Orders in Place
The order, issued by the District Magistrate of Cachar, outlines several prohibitions to be adhered to within a 100-meter radius of the examination center located at Silchar Government Girls & M.P School. It restricts the assembly of three or more individuals, except candidates and authorized personnel, within this designated area. Unauthorized entry into the examination center is strictly prohibited, ensuring a controlled and secure environment for the candidates. To maintain public safety, the order also prohibits the carrying of weapons, explosives, or any suspicious materials within the 100-meter radius.
In addition, the order restricts unauthorized vehicular movement and illegal parking within the same radius, minimizing congestion and facilitating smooth traffic flow. To preserve an atmosphere conducive to concentration and focus, the use of loudspeakers and high decibel sound producing devices is strictly prohibited within a 200-meter radius of the examination center. It is essential to adhere to these instructions, as any violation of the order will be punishable under the provisions of the law. These measures will be effective throughout the duration of the examination.
Similarly, the APSC Combined Competitive Final Examination 2022, scheduled from July 8 to July 10, 2023, at Darang College in Tezpur, Sonitpur district, will be subject to similar guidelines. Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Magistrate Deba Kumar Mishra has issued a directive under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code of India to ensure the smooth and orderly conduct of the examination.
The directive emphasizes that only candidates with valid admission cards, signed by the appropriate authorities, observers, employees, and monitoring teams associated with the examination, will be allowed to sit for the exam. The presence of individuals other than government officials and employees involved in discipline and essential services is strictly prohibited.
To maintain the integrity of the examination process, candidates are not permitted to bring mobile phones, calculators, or any other communication devices such as Bluetooth, into the examination center. Furthermore, to minimize distractions and ensure a quiet environment, the directive mandates that no food outlets or shops operate within a 100-meter radius of the examination centers.
To prevent any unauthorized assistance to candidates, no person other than the designated supervising staff of the examination center will be allowed to aid candidates in taking their assigned seats. This important instruction will be prominently displayed at the entrance of the examination center for public visibility, and any violation of this order will be subject to legal consequences.
These measures have been implemented to maintain the sanctity of the examination process, ensure fairness among candidates, and provide a conducive environment for them to showcase their abilities. It is crucial for all candidates, their guardians, and other stakeholders to adhere to these guidelines and cooperate with the authorities to facilitate a successful and orderly examination.
