Is remote monitoring the solution to unfair practices in high-stakes exams?

The NEET UG paper leak was the most major controversy in India's education system in 2024. The Central Board of Secondary Education recently instructed that CCTVs be put in all schools designated as board exam centres to ensure fair behaviour during exams and monitor the tests provided to prevent unfair practices.

ENHANCED VIGILANCE The remote monitoring system uses high-resolution cameras with real-time monitoring capabilities, which provides a comprehensive view of the exam centre. Moreover, continuous monitoring of exam centres with early notifications for suspicious activity can help to prevent such events in the future, since AI-powered systems can trigger automated reactions to security concerns, hence reducing dependency on human intervention.
