To prevent disturbances near exam venues, the district administration had imposed Section 163 of the Indian Justice Code from 11 am to 8 pm. The orders prohibite gatherings of five or more persons, the use of loudspeakers, public meetings, and the possession of any weapons including firearms and sharp objects within a 200-meter radius of the exam centres.
The authorities deployed a sufficient number of magistrates, senior police officials, and security personnel to maintain order throughout the examination period.
Students were allowed entry only after undergoing mandatory frisking and metal detector checks. Prohibited items included mobile phones, calculators, wallets, books, stationery items, sunglasses, and even water bottles. Strict compliance with these rules was ensured at every centre.
