Lucknow, May 19: The Uttar Pradesh government has announced stringent measures for the upcoming Lekhpal recruitment main exam and the Joint B.Ed Entrance Exam 2026. These exams will be monitored live using AI surveillance to ensure security, transparency, and oversight.
Agricultural Production Commissioner Deepak Kumar reviewed the preparations for both exams on Tuesday. He instructed divisional commissioners, district magistrates, and senior police officials to maintain the integrity of the exams at all costs. The exams must be conducted fairly, transparently, and systematically, adhering to established standards. Additional vigilance has been mandated in districts with a high number of candidates.
Training for center supervisors, static and sector magistrates, and all personnel at exam centers will be intensified to prevent any operational lapses. The commissioner emphasized the utmost priority for securing confidential materials. He directed that question papers and other sensitive materials be retrieved from the treasury according to a predetermined series and delivered to exam centers in a timely manner. Thorough checks and frisking of candidates are to be conducted seriously.
In light of anticipated crowds at railway stations, bus terminals, and exam centers, adequate police presence and traffic management have been ordered. Special monitoring of social media and activation of local intelligence networks have also been stressed. To address the heat, uninterrupted power supply and drinking water facilities will be ensured at exam centers, along with the establishment of holding areas at railway stations and bus terminals as necessary. Nearby hospitals are to remain on alert, and the availability of ORS and essential medicines will be confirmed.
S.N.
