3 Points To Keep In Mind Before Preparing Any Venue For Examination

Many decisions must be made when organising an exam, but choosing the right venue and the necessary security solutions are the ones that will have the greatest impact on keeping exams secure.

In the modern era, keeping competitive exams free from exam fraud has become more  important than ever. This is especially since cheaters and those who promote such activities have become wiser with the available technology. So the question naturally arises, what do you do to keep your chosen exam venue prepared and secure?

Is this a little intimidating? Not to worry about it, since we have here 3 important points that will decide the security of your exam venue which we will guide you through.

Following are the three measures to consider before preparing a venue for exams

• Surveillance at the venue to prevent cheating

Cheating is a major issue in exams, and for that the solution you should definitely consider is CCTV surveillance. A reliable surveillance solution can not only help keep an eye on candidates during exams, but acts as a necessary deterrent against any would-be cheater.

In the modern era, remote observation of exam venues is a necessity to keep the situation under control. And our CAMview CCTV solution can handle  that effortlessly. It comes in two variants offering – CCTV recording and live CCTV.

Every exam requires its own tailored CCTV surveillance option, and we have the solutions to help with that.

• Biometric authentication for verification & attendance

Recently biometrics have seen widespread use, even by government agencies  to ensure security. With that in mind, you can trust that biometrics work effectively well. But how would it help the exam venue  you have chosen?

There are two primary reasons you should consider implementing biometrics for security – Authenticity & Attendance. Impersonation has been a constant thorn in competitive exams and syndicates aren’t easily discouraged.

But what if you had advanced biometrics measures which made sure that only authenticated candidates were allowed in? It would cut down malpractices by half. That’s where  biometric authentication comes into play.

Then there’s attendance, which checks if a certain candidate was present during the exams. It is yet better if these records were digitally secured from breaches. That’s why you need the right biometrics measure, which is what our TRUSTview biometrics security solution offers.

• Secure OMR scanning solution to ensure no manipulation of marks

OMR scanners are installed on the exam venues  themselves and may come under security breaches. However, there’s no way to get out of using OMR sheets for some exams.

Depending on the type of exam, we can say that OMR sheets are the standard used in the modern age. After all, it is a convenience for both candidates and examiners who tally the marks. But have you ever wondered, how this convenience actually comes at a cost to fair exams?

OMR sheet fudging, changed records, inaccurate tallying are just some of the issues that could crop up.

Well, it shouldn’t, or at least we make sure that our SCANview OMR solution leaves exam venues untouched from these cheating methods. What’s better is, the digitised data from the scans are uploaded to encrypted servers which can’t be hacked. That’s it, an essential security solution that also comes with immediate access to answer sheets. No security issues, and no time given to cause security issues – that’s what we promise.
