The annualPlus Twoexaminations inOdishaare set to commence from Wednesday, with elaborate arrangements put in place to ensure smooth and secure conduct of the exams across the state.

According to official sources, a total of 4,01,623 students will appear for the examinations this year. Out of them, 3,76,535 students are regular candidates, while 25,088 students will take the examination as ex-regular candidates.

To facilitate the examination process, question papers have already been dispatched to 211 examination hubs under tight security arrangements. Authorities have confirmed that all question papers have safely reached their respective hubs within a robust security framework.

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Council has introduced a GPS tracking system for the transportation of question papers and answer scripts. This measure has been implemented to enhance transparency, accountability, and real-time monitoring during transit.

Additionally, all examination hubs are under 24-hour live streaming surveillance, ensuring constant monitoring to prevent any irregularities. The entire process is being centrally controlled and supervised by the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE).
