Annexure E : Return of scripts

 

(a) Examination scripts should either be fetched from the examination centre by an examination official or delivered to the regional/district office by the chief invigilator or by a designated official.
(b) A register should be kept at all points where scripts are transferred. Officials involved in the transfer of scripts should sign this register, which should be kept at the regional/district office until the end of the examination and then transferred to the provincial head office.
(c) Under no circumstances should scripts be kept at an examination centre overnight.
(d) Examination scripts should also be sealed in a special envelope to prevent them from being tampered with.
(e) When scripts are received at the provincial head office, they should be checked against the relevant mark sheet, before being transferred to the marking centre. A record should be kept of all examination scripts transferred to the marking centre and the marking centre manager must sign for the receipt of these scripts.
(f) It is recommended that a control system that is accurate and reliable be put in place so as to allow officials to ascertain where particular scripts are at a given time.
