- Background and technical changes
In the past, students used to face a lot of difficulties in finding examination centres. Finding new addresses was a challenge, especially in urban areas. Keeping this in mind, this year, a QR code has been printed on each hall ticket for the route map of the centre allotted to that student.
Once the code is scanned through the smartphone, the maps will open directly. This will not only save time, but students can also reach the exam center without any mental worry. This new change has been brought in coordination with the Ministry of Education and the IT Department.
Impact on students and parents
These decisions taken by the Education Department are a great relief to lakhs of students and their parents. The free RTC travel facility will reduce transportation costs for students in rural areas. By simply showing the hall ticket, they can travel free in Palle Velugu and Express buses (up to the examination center) till April 1.
Section 144 will be in force at the examination centres. Mobile phones or other electronic devices will not be allowed inside the examination centre. Students will be allowed to reach their rooms and seats at 8:30 am so that they can check in with peace of mind. Officials are confident that these stringent measures taken by the government will ensure that there is no room for irregularities in the conduct of the examinations.
