To ensure accuracy in the evaluation process, IIT Kanpur conducted a detailed technical audit of the written exam marks for Assistant Operator recruitment. Candidates found guilty of using unfair means were disqualified from the final selection process, according to the release.

RFID technology was used to monitor running performance for each candidate during the test to ensure accurate timing.

To maintain transparency throughout the process, the Board implemented several technical measures, including CCTV surveillance at all examination centres, DV/PST venues, and PET locations. Live feeds from these centres were monitored in real-time at both district and Board control rooms.

Recruitment data from the Assistant Operator process also underwent detailed scrutiny at the Board level, with candidates allowed to provide clarifications based on CRL rankings and other available data.
