Bhai, esa nahi h. Sabhi exam near future mein na to offline conduct ho skte h aur na hi online.

      Agar online exams me hacking ka risk hai aur offline exams me paper leak ka, to phir students ke liye kaunsa option zyada safe aur fair hai?

        Ravindra Koi bhi exam mode apne challenges ke saath aata hai. Online exams mein hacking aur impersonation ka risk hota hai, jabki offline exams mein paper leak aur unfair practices ka khatra rehta hai. Lekin agar security measures, monitoring, aur transparency achhi ho, toh online exams zyada scalable aur fair ban sakte hain. Offline exams un areas ke liye zaroori hain jahan digital access kam hai. Isliye, exam ka safe aur fair hona mode par nahi, balki uski implementation aur security protocols par depend karta hai.
