Ban on mass monitoring
This year, mass monitoring of SEE examinations has been prohibited. The decision was made following complaints that representatives from various organisations entering exam halls in the name of monitoring were disrupting students during their exams.
For monitoring purposes, a committee has been formed in each district under the coordination of the Chief District Officer.
