News18 has a copy of the said letter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The letter says most examination conducting agencies have switched from the pen-paper mode to computer-based tests but still scams and leakages are being reported with some managing to gain remote access to computers on which the exams are conducted. \u201cOutdated and pirated versions of operating systems in the computers at the exam centres compromise the security system,\u201d the letter says.<\/p>\n<p><nonfly class=\"article_mad\" adunit=\"NW18_ENG_Desktop\/NW18_ENG_India\/NW18_ENG_India_AS\/NW18_ENG_IND_AS_ROS_MID_728\" slotid=\"nw18-dynamic-div-8282959_2_9\" id=\"new_ad_3\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The DoPT secretary had further said absence of licensed anti-virus in the computer systems used at the exam centres make it vulnerable to custom-made remote access programmes. \u201cExam software used without prior security assessment from any CERT-In empaneled firms and absence of fool-proof remote access detection and internet access detection capability weakens oversight,\u201d the letter mentions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">As the fifth gap, the secretary had warned that \u201cno network segmentation\u201d makes it easier for remote solver to access the system from outside. \u201cKindly ensure timely action to address these gaps so as to make the examination system leakage proof,\u201d the secretary wrote.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Root_Cause\"><\/span>The Root Cause<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The DoPT secretary has written that any loophole in the government recruitment examinations poses a threat to the credibility of the selection process and this is an important area that needs due attention to ensure integrity of examination processes. <\/p>\n<p><videocarousel\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cThe Examination Conducting Agencies (ECAs) outsource processes associated with the conduct of the examination to various tech companies. Some ECAs trust the entire examination system to outsourced companies on turn-key basis,\u201d the secretary wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">He said it has been observed that these companies at times further outsource different activities of examinations to some other local companies.
