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.
