Aurangabad: Now, the undergraduate and postgraduate colleges within the jurisction of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University will have to install closed circuit TV (CCTV) cameras at examinations centres mandatorily from summer March/April 2023 sessions.
There are 483 undergraduate and postgraduate colleges in Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed and Osmanabad districts.

So, a meeting of the Board of Examination and Evaluation (BoEE) was held recently. Bamu holds examinations twice in an academic year. The examinations in the first session are conducted in September/October while the second session duration is organised in March/April.
BoEE director Dr Ganesh Manza issued orders on Friday stating that no colleges would get examination centres without the installation of CCTV cameras.
He said that a resolution was passed in the BoEE meeting for the CCTV cameras.
“The UG and PG examinations will be held in the summer session in 2023 in CCTV cameras to put a check on malpractice at the centres. Hence, all the colleges which want examination centres should follow this condition,” he added.
