Strict security measures enforced for HSLC and Higher Secondary Exams in Cachar

District Administration implements prohibitory orders to ensure fair examination

In an effort to uphold the sanctity of the upcoming High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) Examination 2025 and the Higher Secondary Final Examination 2025, the Cachar district administration has rolled out strict security protocols to prevent any form of malpractice or external interference. The order, issued by District Magistrate Mridul Yadav, enforces prohibitory measures under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, ensuring a free, fair, and transparent examination process.

With the HSLC exams set to commence from February 15 and conclude on March 3, 2025, across 44 designated centers, and the Higher Secondary Final Examination scheduled from February 13 to March 17, 2025, at 28 schools and colleges, authorities are leaving no stone unturned to prevent any disruptions. The administration has imposed restrictions, strictly barring unauthorized gatherings within a 100-meter radius of examination centers. Only candidates, authorized scribes, and officials directly involved in the examination process will be allowed entry, effectively curbing any external influence that might compromise fairness.

In addition to movement restrictions, a complete ban has been enforced on the possession of electronic gadgets, including mobile phones (even in switched-off mode), smartwatches, fitness bands, Bluetooth devices, electronic pens, scanners, and earphones inside the examination halls. The use of programmable calculators, pen drives, textual materials—printed or handwritten—and any other items that could facilitate unfair means has also been strictly prohibited. These stringent measures aim to eliminate opportunities for misconduct, ensuring that the examinations are conducted in an environment of integrity and discipline.

Violators of these orders will face strict legal consequences, with the administration warning of immediate action under relevant laws. District Magistrate Mridul Yadav has reaffirmed the administration’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the credibility of the examination process, urging students, parents, and the general public to extend their cooperation.

The implementation of these security measures highlights the determination of the Cachar district administration to ensure a seamless and transparent examination process. By taking a firm stance against malpractice and unauthorized interference, the authorities are working towards fostering a fair academic environment where merit and hard work are the sole determinants of success.
