The Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), Odisha, today, October 24, 2026, announced the mandatory installation of CCTV surveillance and live streaming at all examination centres for the upcoming Class 12 board examinations. This directive applies to all affiliated higher secondary schools and colleges across Odisha.

The measure aims to strengthen examination security, improve transparency, and ensure closer monitoring of the Odisha Plus Two examinations scheduled for 2027. Institutions failing to comply with the new requirements by the stipulated deadline risk the cancellation of their examination centre status.

Mandatory Surveillance and Compliance Deadline

CHSE Odisha has issued an official communication, signed by Dr. Prasanta Kumar Parida, Controller of Examinations, mandating CCTV cameras and live streaming for the Annual Higher Secondary Examination 2027. All affiliated higher secondary schools and colleges have been directed to complete the installation and ensure the functioning of CCTV cameras by November 30, 2026.

Institutions that do not comply with these requirements by the deadline may have their examination centres cancelled for both theory and practical examinations. Defaulting institutions may also be reported to the state government for appropriate action. This directive is intended to ensure transparent conduct of the Class 12th board examinations.

Technical Specifications and Coverage Areas

CCTV coverage is specifically required in Examination Management Hub (EMH) strong rooms, all examination halls and rooms, Centre Superintendent’s offices, and laboratories. Live streaming must be enabled for real-time monitoring by officials from CHSE, the School and Mass Education Department, and concerned district collectorates.

The CCTV systems must record activities clearly without obstruction, with correct date and time settings. Institutions are instructed to install new cameras where necessary and ensure existing systems are fully operational. Systems must be tested and ready for use from the day question papers are received at strong rooms and from the first day of the examination.

Reporting Requirements and New Centres

Schools applying to become new examination centres must ensure CCTV installation in their examination halls and Centre Superintendent’s rooms. Institutions declared as Examination Management Hubs or examination centres for the Annual Higher Secondary Examination 2026, along with schools eligible for new centres, must ensure the required equipment and infrastructure are in place.

This infrastructure includes DVR/NVR recording systems, compatible cloud services, cameras, an internet connection with a minimum speed of 50 Mbps, a static IP address, and the relevant cloud serial number. Schools must submit their college name and code, internet service provider and connection speed, DVR/NVR make and serial number, and other technical details through SAMS e-Space. The CCTV installation status must be updated via a designated link on the SAMS e-Space portal by November 30, 2026.
