Hyderabad: Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TGBIE) has decided to ban all types of wrist watches inside exam centres to curb malpractice.
With over five lakh students set to appear for the intermediate public examinations from March 5, authorities have decided to ban all types of electronic gadgets inside exam centres.
"The blanket ban comes as smartwatches have increasingly been used by students to cheat during exams, making it impractical for officials to check every watch individually," said TGBIE secretary, Krishna Aditya.
He added, "All necessary measures, including CCTV surveillance at centres, were taken to curb malpractices. Students will not be allowed to carry any electronic gadgets inside exam halls, including mobile phones, digital devices, and watches. The decision to ban watches entirely was taken due to the logistical challenge of checking each watch in such large numbers. However, students can rely on wall clocks placed in rooms."
