AI-enabled CCTVs were installed to monitor all the centres of the UP Police Recruitment Examination. A secure strong room was also set up to keep the question papers safe. Complete arrangement for CCTV and GPS tracking was also enabled in this room. The Government and government-aided institutions got priority for setting up examination centres.
