The Maharashtra government has taken steps to implement the "copy-free exams" campaign to ensure the smooth conduct of the exam. As a part of this campaign, shutting photocopy shops in a 50-meters radius of the examination centre for class 10, and 12 board exams have been included. 

It was suggested at this week's cabinet meeting that exam centers would be graded on their 'sensitivity' and that unauthorized people would not be permitted to enter within 50 meters of them. In addition, there will be increased police presence around the examination centers. A district collector has been assigned to coordinate the campaign on behalf of the education commissioner, who is serving as the campaign's nodal officer.
