This year, the Maharashtra government has implemented the “copy-free exams" campaign which includes shutting photocopy shops in 50-metre radius of the examination centres ahead of Class 10 and 12 exams.

The exam centres will be graded according to their 'sensitivity', and the entry of unauthorized people will be banned within 50 metres of an exam centre. Police presence around the exam centres would also be stepped up.

The education commissioner has been appointed as the nodal officer and district collectors as coordinating officers for the campaign.
