Additionally, candidates are strictly prohibited from carrying mobile phones, electronic gadgets, smartwatches, health bands, bluetooth devices, microphones, calculators, pen drives, textual materials, or any item that could facilitate unfair means inside the examination halls.

In light of these possibilities, stringent measures have been enforced to deter any external influence and ensure the integrity of the examination.
