Various service providers of phone jammers are considering the matter and applications have been invited.
The tender filled by these service providers needs to fulfil requirement involving, supply and instalment of sufficient number of jammers to block the the signals at exam centre.
Jammers are required to work with or without power supply, providing full back up until the length of time of the exam and free from all technical glitches.
