Therefore, we have decided to adopt the online proctoring examination for the first-year students which will allow them to appear for the examination online from home,” Jaiswal said, adding that the online examination will be a low-cost affair.

Stating that 100 first-year students will take the online examination in 12 subjects, he said the they are told not to seek any external help while answering the papers and the institute will strictly monitor their movement through the video camera either on their laptop or a mounted camera on their desktop. “The faculty of the IIM-Sambalpur will evaluate the papers of the students,” he added.
