The instructions say that 50% of the exam hall invigilators at every centre will be from outside (external). Also, on the day of examination of a subject, the teacher of that subject will not be assigned the duty of being a room invigilator or supervisor in that shift.
Teachers of schools running under the same management will also not be assigned duty of invigilator at a designated examination centre of other schools running under the same management system, the orders say.

Exam hall invigilators whose children and relatives are appearing in the exam will also not be eligible to undertake invigilation duty at that centre.
Centre managers, external centre managers and exam invigilators found reluctant to discharge their responsibilities or remaining deliberately absentwill be considered absent from duty in public interest and disciplinary action will be taken against them, the board has said.
