Lucknow, September 1 (IANS). The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment Examination was conducted successfully on Saturday. From manpower to advanced technology was used to conduct the examination. Such tight security arrangements were made inside and outside the examination centre that cheaters and solver gangs kept away from the examination.
UP Police kept a close watch on everything from WhatsApp to social media. Intelligence agencies were kept on alert mode 24 hours a day so that nothing goes wrong. More than 32 lakh candidates appeared in this exam which was held for five days in two phases.
To ensure that the candidates do not face any inconvenience, 2300 magistrates and 1,97,859 policemen were deployed. CCTV cameras equipped with artificial intelligence were also used.
To ensure smooth conduct of the examination, CCTV cameras were installed in 16,440 rooms of 1174 centres, which were equipped with artificial intelligence. Due to this, information about the activities of every examination room, such as absence of the invigilator, etc., kept reaching the board’s control room in real time.
To ensure smooth conduct of the police recruitment exam, 1,97,859 policemen and two companies were deployed. 25 companies of PAC and 8 companies of CAPF were deployed.

Candidates were admitted only after physical frisking at the centre, frisking by HHMD, biometric finger print and facial recognition.
Arrangements were also made to capture FRIS in case of no facial recognition.
