Almost 1.2 lakh teachers were at invigilator duty to ensure fair conduct of the entrance test. In addition to the invigilators, there were 663 flying squads and 6,096 supervisors who worked in unison for the smooth conduct of the entrance test.
It was for the first time in the history of UPTET that no individual, whether it be a student, superintendent, static magistrates etc, was allowed to carry cellular devices inside the exam centres. Only primitive keypad phones without camera were allowed inside the examination centres in an attempt to make the system “foolproof”.
