on how to submit your answer.
• If the uploading takes time more than 1 min, immediately inform the invigilator

continue to the next question after informing the invigilator. Any updates to the
answer can be uploaded to the secondary submission link.

Setup guide for Timestamp Camera Enterprise Free

• Align the timestamp details on the top-right corner.

o Allow space in your answer sheet for the timestamp details.
• Make sure that you have enabled the location data.
• It is recommended to adjust the resolution to 1280 × 720 or a closer value, so that
sufficient clarity will be there while the file size is smaller.
• Make sure you have selected the Time in above option, so that the early lines are
longer in the timestamp.
• DO NOT change the default font and format of the timestamp. Changing this setting
will be considered as producing forged documents, and will be considered as an
exam offence.
• The time stamp must include the following fields as shown in Figure 1. Not having
sufficient details will also be considered as attempting to produce false
information. Submission will not be graded if all these details are not
available.
 o Network time
o Local time
o GPS coordinates
o Location details
• DO NOT add additional watermarks, etc., to the photo. This will distract your
answer and the examiner will not take extra effort to find your work under those.
• Strictly adhere to all the setting as stipulated in Figure 1. Failing to do so is
considered as an attempt to provide forged information.
• A photo taken will look like the one in Figure 2.
