Mobile jammers in exam halls

Shimla, January 12 (IANS): To minimise chances of high-tech cheating, the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission has installed mobile jammers in its examination halls in the state capital. The jammers have been purchased after the arrest of 34 candidates, caught with mobile phones during the written examination of the ombined graduate-level examinations in September last year. He said the candidates were indulging in high-tech cheating with the help of mobile phones they carried under their garments. The leads connected to the mobiles were stitched into their garments so as to make them undetectable. The spokesperson said a proposal would be sent shortly to the state government for providing adequate budget to purchase mobile jammers before the forthcoming Himachal Pradesh Administrative Service (Main) Examination.
