• Also, the Invigilators are expected to submit a written report to the Centre
Superintendent about all such cases and put his/her signature on the required
document(s) as per directions of the Centre Superintendent.
• Invigilators are responsible for maintaining the discipline, order and proper conduct of
Examination in the room under their supervision and as such they should constantly be
watchful and move about in the room and not talk or read any book, newspaper or the
Test Booklet during the period of Examination.

4.2.34 No Candidate suffering from any infectious disease like smallpox, flu, mumps, etc. should
be allowed to sit in the room, with other Candidates. If such a case is suspected, it should
be reported to the Centre Superintendent immediately so that his/her seating
arrangements could be made in a separate place (other than Isolation room being used for
COVID-19).
4.2.35 One of the Invigilators should always accompany a Candidate wishing to make use of toilet
during the Examination . Candidate must wash their hands with soap every time they use

[26]
 the washroom. It should be ensured that there is no copying material in the toilets and the
Candidates return to their respective places within normal time. Special attention should
be paid to those who visit the toilets more than once during the Examination. Such
Candidates should be thoroughly searched again.
4.2.36 No Candidate to be allowed to use washroom in the last 30 minutes.
4.2.37 Few Invigilators will also get duty in Registration room from 08:00 A.M till last entry of the
Candidates, on a rotational basis (as per the roster) by changing duty at an interval of half
an hour.

 Important Points
It would be the personal responsibility of the Invigilator to ensure collection of OMR
Answer Sheets and the Admit Cards from each and every Candidate. In case a Candidate
runs away with the OMR Answer Sheet or the Admit Card, the Invigilator(s) concerned
shall be held responsible for the same.

While collecting the OMR Answer Sheets, the Invigilators must check specifically that the
Candidate has written his/her Roll Number and Test Booklet Number, Mother’s Name (in
running handwriting), Father’s name (in running handwriting) Candidate’s Name,
Candidate’s signature at the space provided, on the OMR Answer Sheet. The Invigilator
should also countersign the OMR Answer Sheet.

The Invigilators should look for suspicious activities on the part of Candidates like leaving
the OMR Answer Sheet blank for quite a long time etc. and pay special attention to these
Candidates. Care should be taken at the same time that the Candidates writing the exam
should not be disturbed. They need to ensure that no Candidate is making any attempt to
use any unfair means by using any mode.

Any Candidate sitting idle and not writing the answers for an unusually long period, may
be watched carefully.

If any girl Candidate has untied long hair, she may be kept under watch.

If any Candidate is wearing shoes and sandals with high heels, they must be kept under
close observation.

Candidates not belonging to the State in which the Examination Centre is situated be
watched carefully.

If any Candidate is whispering, he may also be put under strict vigil as he might be using
Bluetooth device to communicate with people outside.

Cases not covered under the above rules should be referred to the Centre Superintendent
for obtaining his/her guidance and necessary instructions.

[27]
4.3 During Entry:

a) The staff/guard will ensure that the Candidates carry only the following inside the
Examination room: -

• Pens, Masks, Gloves, small hand sanitizer, transparent water bottle.

• Admit Card along with passport size photograph affixed on it
• Any one of the authorized IDs (must be original, valid and non-expired) issued
by the Government – Student ID card issued by the School/ Passport/ Aadhaar
Card (with photograph/E-Aadhaar)/PAN card.

b) The authorized staff on duty will ensure that Candidates are not in possession of any
other article, except the items which are allowed, as stated earlier while entering the
Examination Centre.

Advisory regarding COVID-19 for all
10 Functionaries

Amidst COVID-19 pandemic, the NTA has drawn up a comprehensive plan for implementation based on
relevant Instructions, Guidelines and Orders. This has implications for all Functionaries and has been
added as a separate Chapter. NTA is aware of the challenges and with your support and collaboration will
address them in a timely manner.

10.1 Advisory regarding COVID-19 for all Functionaries associated with smooth
conduct of AISSEE-2021

10.1.1 Background

NTA has developed several norms that need to be adhered to in order to re-
assure the Candidates and Functionaries involved in the conduct of the Exam that
all safeguard and precautions are being taken. Hence the need for Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP). The SOP acts as a document to set the standard and
the operating norms agreed between NTA and the Centres conducting the exam.

With the latest pandemic threat, every process needs to be redefined to ensure
strict compliance of all the required norms which are put in place. This is to
additionally assure the safety of both the Candidates and all functionaries
involved in the conduct of the Examination.

We, at NTA, proactively worked with health experts and defined the norms to
ensure that the exams go on with adequate precautions. All the exam processes,
procedures have been reviewed and necessary modifications have been
incorporated to ensure exams are conducted safely.

10.1.2 The objective of this Advisory is to ensure the following

❖ Providing safe and secure environment for all stakeholders involved in the
Examination process using touch-free processes wherever needed
❖ Maintaining social distancing measures
❖ Following the Guidelines and procedures recommended by the Govt
❖ Integrating measures with existing processes/ procedures / controls
❖ Being on the same page with respect to the actions to be taken by all
stakeholders/functionaries towards safe conduct of exams

10.1.3 Scope

Advisory covers the procedures required for NTA to safely organize and conduct
AISSEE-2021 at its Examination Centres right from the entry of Candidates upto
their exit.

[44]
10.2 Procedure

NTA has carried out detailed deliberations to formulate Guidelines for the various controls /
measures that are required to be implemented on the day of the exam at each Examination
Centre. These are categorized into three stages of the exam day activity namely:

• Pre-Examination Controls / Measures

I
• Exam Conduct Controls / Measures at Examination centres
II
• Post Examination Controls / Measures at Examination centres
III

10.2.1 Pre-Examination Controls / Measures

❖ Allocation of Candidates at Examination Centres

be printed as “Slot (time)” such as 08.00 A.M., 8.20 AM etc.
o List of items permitted in Exam Rooms

the Centre in advance by clicking on the link (when Candidate clicks the Centre
details).

❖ Training of staff on Social Distancing norms

o After City Coordinator’s briefing on 06.02.2021 , the Centre Superintendent will

be conducting training for Invigilators and all staff on duty using materials shared
by NTA and instructions received during briefing/meeting. It will be mandatory for
Centre staff to attend the meeting. Focus should be on

▪ Social Distancing norms
