5. Currently Jammer models manufactured by M/s ECIL& M/s BEL

are evaluated by SPG & IB and only those models can be procured

which have been found suitable by SPG & IB. List of current

approved make/ model of jammers can be found here lltYPti!rlin~J.

Central/State PSUs, desirous of manufacturing jammers, can

apply to the security, giving details of the model, the source of

technology. The request would be processed in consultation with

are also allowed to deploy jammers in examination halls.

;NOR~§.__EQJ~_~T~T_l!_TQ_BX~~MIN~_I!Q:l!_~ONDC!JTI_NG l!Q_:QJ~~DESIROUS OF USING JAMMERS IN EXAMINATION CENTRES:-

1. The statutory examination conducting bodies are allowed to deploy

low powered jammers to prevent cheating during examinations.

The same would not however be through procurement/ ownership

of the equipment. They would be given permission only to take it

on lease basis and would therefore have to pay only for using

jammers on the specific date of examination.

2. The examination body may consider deployment of jammers in

sensitive examination centres based on past experience and other

inputs rather than deployment in all centres across the country.

3. However such jammers would be manufactured only by vendors

approved by Secretary (Security) (at present M/ s. ECIL and M/ s.

BEL are the approved vendors whose models are being evaluated

by SPG and IB). The list of vendors is likely to expand with other

Central/State/PSUs offering their equipment.

4. For this purpose statutory examination conducting bodies may

seek prior approval of Secretary (Security) in approved proforma-II

(hyperltnk/ giving details of examination centres where jammers are

to be deployed.

5. The examination conducting bodies should send a calendar of

examinations, to be conducted by them, well in advance,

indicating the centres selected for deployment of jammers so that

their request can be processed by Office of Secretary (Security) and

consolidated clearance on annual basis be given by this office.

6. Operating the jammer would be the responsibility of the concerned

vendor and the latter would have to ensure the functioning and

effectiveness of the equipment. This would also ensure that no

tampering is done by any local element at the examination centre.

7. A certificate form will also be taken after completion of each

examination that proper accounting has been done for the

jammers deployed and none of the jammers are missing.

8. The expenditure involved in deployment of jammers will be borne

by the examination conducting bodies and payment will be made

only on the number ofjammers deployed on that p~ticular day.

9. Public Sector vendors will be responsible for safi upkeep of the

jammers and will also ensure that the jammers keep pace with

changing face of technology.

***

Any central or state government undertaking, with requisite

manufacturing capability and necessary technology can request

for registration as a Jammer manufacture. They are to apply to

Secretary (Security), Cabinet Secretariat, giving details regarding

specifications of the equipment offered, source of technology,

model make and name etc.

The application would be processed in consultation with IB and

SPG and once registered the vendor will have to bring their

jammer for evaluation/trials by IB and SPG and only after

successful clearance, will get included in the approved vendor list.
