Dharamsala, January 12, 2014: Thirty-four candidates, who were caught with mobile phones during the written examination of the combined graduate-level examinations in September last year, are the eye opener for HPPSC to go for high tech arrangements in Himachal. To minimise chances of high-tech cheating, the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission has installed mobile jammers in its examination halls in Shimla.
According to an official, “In last year search it was found that the candidates were indulging in high-tech cheating with the help of mobile phones they carried under their garments. The leads connected to the mobiles were craftily stitched into their garments so as to make them undetectable.”
The spokesperson said a proposal would be sent shortly to the state government for providing adequate budget to purchase mobile jammers so each and every examination centre is equipped with these before the forthcoming Himachal Pradesh Administrative Service (Main) Examination.// dharamsala news update, dharamsala information, dharamsala news, himachal news online, himachal news kangra, himachal news in english, himachal news today, himachal news, india news,
