The Rawalpindi Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has launched real-time online monitoring of matriculation examination centers to ensure transparency and prevent cheating during exams.
The board has established a modern command and control center, allowing officials to monitor examination centers live through CCTV cameras.
Authorities say the system will help detect suspicious activities immediately and maintain a fair examination environment for students.
According to Rawalpindi Board Secretary Amjad Iqbal, live streaming from 100 examination centers is currently underway through the monitoring system.
Cameras have also been installed at 150 additional centers, with their backup footage stored by the board.
Officials plan to expand the system in the coming months further to strengthen monitoring and reduce reliance on physical inspections.
The new digital monitoring system will also help the board reduce operational costs. By decreasing the need for physical monitoring teams, the board expects to save around Rs40 million.
Amjad Iqbal said the main objective of the initiative is to provide students with a transparent and fair examination system where they can prove their abilities through merit.
Through the command-and-control system, authorities have already identified cases of malpractice. Two candidates in Chakwal have been booked for using unfair means during the exams.
Board officials say the system will strengthen transparency in the education system and ensure immediate action against any violations at examination centers.
