ECoR Cautions Candidates For RRB Exams Against Touts; Know Precautions

Bhubaneswar: The East Coast Railway (ECoR) has cautioned the candidates appearing at RRB examination against the touts trying to misguide them with fake promises of appointment for jobs on illegal consideration.

In a release, the ECoR said the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has engaged a highly reputed company to conduct the Computer Based Test for CEN RRC 01/2019 – Level 1 appointment for which more than 1.1 crore candidates are appearing. Three phases of CBT have already been completed involving 12 Zonal Railways and the fourth phase has started on Monday.

Various safeguards and protections are built into the system to prevent any kind of irregularity. The allocation of the centre to the candidates is randomised through computer logic. Besides, once candidates report at the examination centre and register themselves, the allocation of lab and seats are also randomised.

The question paper is in highly encrypted form and nobody other than the candidate can access the question paper, and that too once the candidate does second and final log in into the computer after the start of exam and hence final decryption of question paper takes place at this stage.

The sequence of questions in the question paper has also been randomised along with all four options to enable each candidate to have a unique question paper. Thus, the sequence is completely different from that in master question paper. Therefore, if anyone claims that he/she can provide the answer key to a candidate, it is totally false, baseless and misleading, the ECoR said.

As further safeguards, the examinations are conducted in strict surveillance of CCTV cameras with full recording of each and every candidate. Besides, the Railways also deploy their own staff at each centre to monitor the candidates as well as staff of examination conducting agency.
