A three-member committee—comprising the tahsildar, block education officer, and a principal—will ensure safe transportation of question papers. Armed police personnel will escort the vehicles, equipped with GPS trackers.
On exam days, a 200-metre no-entry zone will be enforced around centres, and photocopy shops will remain closed. KSRTC buses will be arranged for students in rural areas.
Superintendent Mallikarjuna Baladandi confirmed that health personnel will be stationed at centres. Staff must wear ID badges, and mobile phones, smartwatches, or electronic devices are strictly prohibited.
