CISCE checks
The council has given a deadline of Sept 15 to upload all these details after the physical inspection of each school, mentioning the date of inspection as well. I really appreciate such an initiative taken by the council so that each school knows where they have a shortage and can develop their infrastructure according to the requirements. ” Another major part of the inspection is the availability of an infirmary or medical room during the exam period.
The principal of a city school said, “The inspection is not new. Another principal said, “We have already increased the number of CCTV cameras at the exam halls after a circular we received two years ago, where the council asked us to be under CCTV surveillance during the exam. Kolkata: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has begun inspections of examination venues, checking for steel cupboards with double-locking systems to secure examination materials, the distance from the bank custodian, and infirmary facilities. The inspection proforma contains a detailed questionnaire for the convener to assess venue schools’ preparedness for conducting board examinations. However, this year, the process has started quite early. They are actually trying to make systematic process for conducting exams smoothly. ” Another portion of the proforma seeks details of schools’ infrastructure and facilities, including measurements of the examination halls and laboratories to assess student capacity. We are also aware of the requirement to preserve CCTV footage till the results are published. Schools without such facilities must specify the medical arrangements available if they are required during the exams.
Every year, the council conducts such inspections before the exams.
