Preps done for RO/ARO prelim exam today
Prayagraj: Extensive arrangements have been made to monitor the Review Officer (RO) / Assistant Review Officer (ARO) Preliminary Examination-2023, to be held on Sunday (July 27) at 2,382 centres in the state. Being considered the biggest examination in the history of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) in terms of the number of candidates, the Commission has taken several steps to conduct the pre-exam in a transparent and fair manner. Earlier, in the same examination held on February 11, 2024, the paper was leaked, and the Commission had to cancel the examination. This examination is now going to be held after one and a half years, and during this time, many significant decisions are being taken for the transparency and monitoring of the examination. Importantly, the RO/ARO examination will be conducted for the first time with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). If any candidate looks around, speaks, or murmurs in the examination hall, then with the help of AI technology, which works in synchronization with the high-definition CCTV installed in the room, the candidate concerned will be immediately identified. Not only the candidates but also the room invigilators will be monitored by AI-enabled CCTVs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3 & 4 BHK Starts ₹1.65 Cr in Kukatpally Honer Signatis Book Now The entire network of CCTVs will be monitored by the Commission through a master control centre.
