Module 3 covers examination-day operations and is divided into four stages: activities before the examination begins, procedures at the start of the examination, responsibilities during the examination, and post-examination protocols. And lastly, Module 4 serves as a Quick Reference Guide, offering a concise summary of key guidelines, responsibilities, and best practices for examination personnel.
Hosted on the iGOT Karmayogi Bharat platform, the programme provides self-paced learning and assessment-based certification, enabling examination officials across India to undergo standardised training.

The agency emphasised that well-trained examination staff are essential for ensuring the fair and efficient conduct of high-stakes examinations. By creating a uniform framework for examination administration nationwide, the programme seeks to reinforce the integrity of the examination process.
As per NTA, the launch of Pariksha Karmayogi reflects NTA’s broader efforts to strengthen the examination ecosystem through technology-enabled capacity building and a trained, certified workforce capable of handling large-scale assessments with professionalism and consistency.
