Bhubaneswar, Sep 19: The Odisha Teacher Eligibility Test (OTET) is scheduled to be held on September 27 across 193 examination centers in Odisha. To prevent any breach or irregularity, government has announced a series of robust security and administrative measures.

Accordingly, all the examination centers will be placed under CCTV surveillance for the entire duration—from the arrival of question papers to the conclusion of the exam.

To further tighten security, armed police escorts will accompany vehicles transporting question papers. These papers will be stored in digital lockers equipped with GPS tracking, ensuring real-time monitoring of their movement and safety.

A Command Control Room will also be set up at the BSE headquarters to coordinate and oversee the entire examination process. Additionally, observers will be deployed at each exam center to ensure strict compliance with protocols.

In preparation, District Education Officers (DEOs), District Science Supervisors, and Center Superintendents will undergo specialised training to manage and supervise the exam effectively.

School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond informed the Assembly that these steps are part of the government’s commitment to conduct a transparent and error-free OTET.
