　　Jammers are devices that can block electronic signals. GPS jammer They block the communication between mobile phones, tablets and other devices and the outside world by interfering with the propagation of radio waves. With the advancement of modern technology, some candidates use microelectronic devices hidden in collars, shirt buttons and even pens to cheat. This high-tech cheating method makes it difficult for traditional proctoring methods to deal with it. Therefore, the introduction of jammers has become an effective weapon to combat this problem.

　　Wide deployment of jammers: full coverage from test sites to technological facilities

　　To ensure the effectiveness of jammers, the local government has cooperated with Bharat Electronics Ltd to install these devices in all 37 test sites. Each test site will be equipped with two or more jammers according to its size and the number of candidates to ensure the best signal shielding effect in the entire test site. In addition, two judges and police officers are deployed at each test site to further strengthen the order and security of the test site.

　　The use of jammers this time is not just to deal with the UPSC exam, but a strong counterattack against cheating in various entrance exams and competitive exams across the country. In recent years, cheating has emerged in an endless stream, especially in some key exams, where candidates use hidden devices to transmit answers. This deployment will have an effective deterrent effect on this cheating method.

　　The impact of jammers from the perspective of candidates: fairness and challenges coexist

　　For candidates, the introduction of jammers means a more fair examination environment. However, this also puts higher demands on them. Candidates must arrive at the examination center on time 10 minutes before the start of the examination, and will not be allowed to enter the examination room after the time limit. The examination will be divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon, from 9:30 to 11:30 and 2:30 to 4:30 respectively. All candidates must strictly abide by the examination time to ensure fair competition.

　　Although the original intention of the introduction of jammers is to maintain the fairness of the examination, its impact has also caused concerns among some candidates. For example, some candidates are worried that jammers may affect the normal use of their legal devices such as electronic watches or hearing aids. In this regard, the staff of the examination center said that the use of jammers is limited to shielding the signals of mobile phones and other communication devices, and will not have an adverse effect on other electronic devices.

　　Future Outlook: Technology helps the continuous exploration of examination fairness

　　The use of jammers in the Bareilly region marks a new era in the Indian examination management system. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the examination management department must constantly update and improve its means to deal with increasingly complex cheating behaviors. The successful use of jammers may provide important reference and reference for future examination security management.

　　However, jammers are not a panacea for all cheating problems. How to balance the relationship between technical means and the legitimate rights and interests of candidates, and how to ensure that jammers do not affect the normal examination experience of candidates, still requires further exploration and research. In the future, the examination management department needs to continuously sum up experience and improve technical means in practice to ensure that the fairness and impartiality of the examination can be truly realized.

　　In short, the introduction of jammers provides a strong guarantee for the fairness of the UPSC preliminary examination. The application of this technological means is not only an effective curb on cheating, but also an important innovation in the examination management system. In the future, how to further optimize the use of jammers and how to promote this technology in a wider examination environment will become a topic that the examination management department needs to focus on.
