All of us are to ensure that the examination is conducted in smooth and fair manner. It is essential that the conduct of the Assessment does not only appear to be fair but should enjoy the complete confidence and trust of the public at large.

1. that the candidates should be advised to be in their seats 30 minutes before the schedule commencement of the assessment;
