To eliminate vulnerabilities, the board has established a double-layer supervisor protocol at every single venue:
- Board Representative: One dedicated officer/employee directly deployed by the Haryana Board will remain permanently on-site.
- Administrative Officer: One gazetted administrative official appointed by the local District Administration will co-manage security.
All invigilators, observers, biometric operators, and technical camera staff must visibly wear their official photo identity cards at all times. Individuals without authorized identification will be strictly denied entry into the premises.
