KPSC to Mandate Jammers and Digital Biometric Attendance at Exam Centres for Upcoming KAS Tests
The Karnataka Public Service Commission has decided to enforce jammers and digital biometric attendance at exam centres to enhance transparency and public trust in the forthcoming gazetted probationary (KAS) examinations.
KPSC has announced that all upcoming gazetted probationary (KAS) examinations will now require the use of jammers and digital biometric attendance at exam centres, aiming to increase transparency and restore public confidence.
The decision follows concerns over potential malpractice and the need for a more secure testing environment. By mandating jammers, the commission intends to prevent any external communication that could compromise exam integrity.
Digital biometric attendance will record the presence of candidates and invigilators in real time, providing an auditable trail for each test session. The move is expected to streamline monitoring and reduce disputes over attendance.
The commission will roll out the new procedures in the next testing cycle, with detailed guidelines to be released shortly. Candidates and staff are advised to familiarize themselves with the updated protocols.
