Approximately 6,800 candidates are scheduled to take the re-examination. The Section 163 order prohibits any assembly within a 200-meter radius of the exam venues. To maintain order and security, the Gurugram police will deploy 380 personnel. Of these, 200 will be stationed at the centers for security and law-and-order duties, while 180 will focus on traffic management, according to Sandeep Turan, public relations officer for the Gurugram police.

Assembly within a 200-metre radius of exam centres has been prohibited.

Further restrictions include a ban on carrying weapons, parking vehicles, using loudspeakers, and operating Wi-Fi or electronic devices within the restricted zones. Additionally, photocopy shops and coaching centers located within 500 meters of the examination sites must remain closed on the day of the test. These measures aim to prevent any disruptions and ensure a secure environment for the candidates.

To uphold the integrity of the examination process, authorities have installed mobile jammers and CCTV surveillance systems at all centers. Biometric verification facilities are also in place. A two-tier frisking system has been implemented to enhance security and prevent unauthorized items from entering the venues. Police riders will patrol each center, and Emergency Response Vehicles will be stationed at key locations to assist candidates and respond to emergencies. In Faridabad, similar prohibitory orders are in effect for its 19 examination centers, where 6,460 candidates will appear, with over 500 police personnel deployed.
