Introduction

Preparing for the GPPAE online exam? This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the GPPAE online exam requirements, including technical setup, submission guidelines, and best practices to ensure a smooth examination process.

Online Exam Requirements

1. How to Set Up a 360-Degree Camera for an Exam

• Set up a 360-degree camera at least 2 hours before the exam day for monitoring purposes.
• To meet the GPPAE online exam requirements, you need both a laptop (placed in front of you) and a mobile phone (placed behind you) to provide a 360-degree view of the examination room.
• Both devices must be logged into the video conference throughout the exam.
• Ensure the camera angles are properly aligned to show your full upper body, including elbows, while writing the exam.
• Use books or a stand to adjust camera positioning for clear visibility.
• A demo session will be held one day before the exam to help set up your room and devices correctly.

2. GPPAE Answer Sheet Submission Guidelines

• Two days before the exam, GPPAE will send the answer sheet via email.
• Print the answer sheet on bond paper for use during the exam.

3. Receiving the Question Paper

• At the start of the exam, GPPAE will email the question paper.
• Read the instructions carefully and begin answering immediately.

4. GPPAE Answer Sheet Submission Rules

• After completing the exam, take clear pictures of your answer sheets.
• Email the pictures to GPPAE within 2 minutes to avoid disqualification.
• The next day, send the physical answer sheets via speed post to the official GPPAE address.
• Ensure the answer sheets arrive within 6 days to prevent disqualification.

Second Section: Online Writing Exam

1. Receiving & Completing the Exam

• GPPAE will send an exam link via email for the second section.
• This section contains 30 to 40 questions of different types.
• Open the link and complete the exam while ensuring 360-degree camera monitoring.
• Once an answer is written, corrections are not allowed.

2. Time Management & Rules

• Time management is crucial. Complete the exam within the allotted time to avoid disqualification.
• Any interruptions (e.g., power failure, internet issues, camera malfunction) will result in exam cancellation.

Technical Setup & Equipment Requirements

1. Internet Speed Requirements for Online Exams

• A minimum internet speed of 5 Mbps is required for stable performance.
• Use Speedtest.net to check your connection before the exam.
• A wired connection is recommended for better stability.

2. Required Equipment

• Headset: Use a high-quality headset with a built-in microphone for clear audio. Wireless headsets are allowed but must be fully charged.
• Camera: A webcam with at least 720p resolution is required. External webcams provide better quality than built-in laptop cameras.

Exam Environment Setup

1. Laptop/Tablet Placement

• Place your device on a stable surface to prevent shaky video.
• Use a stand or books to elevate the camera to eye level.
• Ensure the camera captures your head, shoulders, and writing area.

2. Background & Lighting

• Choose a clean, neutral background without distractions.
• Use good lighting (natural light or lamps) to avoid shadows on your face.
• Avoid backlighting, which may cause visibility issues.

Personal Presentation & Dress Code

• Wear professional attire, just as you would for an in-person interview.
• Choose neutral, solid colors to minimize distractions.
