GUIDELINES FOR INVIGILATORS DURING EXAM
-The efficient and smooth conduct of examinations and timely declaration of the results can be ensured only with the cooperation of all the stake holders including teaching, non-teaching and administrative staff of the Institute. They are expected to be aware of the various procedures and time schedules which they should adhere to. Invigilators are requested to acquaint with the following procedures:
- - Carrying mobile phones or any reading material by the invigilator is strictly prohibited. The invigilator is expected to be vigilant and take frequent rounds in the exam hall. The invigilators should not chit-chat with each other as it will distract the students' concentration in writing the Examination.
- -Invigilators shall make announcements in the Examination hall that the use of electronic devices by the students shall not be permitted in the Examination hall. In this context, electronic devices include and are not limited to mobile phones, tablet devices, laptops, data storage watches (‘smart-watches’) with means for inputting or storing information and or capable of transmitting or receiving information.
- -The invigilator is expected to be tactful while dealing with complex situations and not to disturb the tranquility in the exam hall. In case of any problem, he/she may bring the matter to the notice of the Principal.
- -Disclose to the Principal, well in advance, any conflicts of interest (e.g., immediate family member/close relative is a candidate for the exam) in doing a particular examination duty. This is essential to maintain transparency in the Examination system and avoid unnecessary complications/allegations and litigation following the Examination.
- -Only teaching staff are to be drafted as invigilators. Subject teachers should not be posted as invigilators in the examination halls where the students are writing or will write the examination in that subject.
- -Generally, scheduled forenoon session Examinations start at 9:30 AM and afternoon session examinations start at 1:30 PM. Invigilators should arrive at the venue at least 30 minutes before the start of the examination, i.e., 9:00 AM for the forenoon session and 1:00 PM for the afternoon session.
