Chairing a preparatory meeting, Mr. Pandve instructed invigilators to maintain secrecy and punctuality in handling materials, ensure proper seating, and keep all CCTV cameras functional. Prohibitory orders will be in force within 200 metres of exam centres. Superintendent of Police Pruthvik Shankar said adequate security would be deployed. A total of 2,561 candidates will appear for the Land Surveyor exam on October 24, 9,626 for the Village Administrative Officer exam on October 25, 1,218 for Nursing and Pharmacy Officers on October 26, and 535 for Residential School Teachers and Second Division Assistants on October 27. Candidate verification will use QR code scanning, and signal jammers are being installed. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The order affects over 13,900 candidates across four exam dates, with the largest group, 9,626, appearing for the Village Administrative Officer post. The district administration has laid out specific security and procedural measures, including CCTV monitoring and signal jammers, to prevent malpractice. What remains unresolved is how effectively these measures will be enforced across 35 centres, especially in the two-session Village Administrative Officer exam on October 25. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Straightforward reporting of official directives and exam logistics This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
