The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) announced it will use three-layer OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) answer sheets across all the competitive examinations it conducts, as a safeguard against malpractice and tampering.
The multi-layer design is meant to prevent post-exam alteration of answer sheets, a complaint that has previously dogged the KEA's recruitment examinations.
The move follows scrutiny of the agency's examination processes after reports of irregularities in some recruitment tests.
