CBSE Class 12 Accountancy Paper Leak Aftermath: Board Issues Strict Guidelines After Question Paper Leak News
CBSE has pulled up the examination centre supervisors for not ‘discharging their duties strictly’. From now on, if any dodge comes into notice, it is them who will be held responsible for explanation.
Hours of speculation about the class 12 Accountancy paper leak, the Central Board of Education (CBSE) has revised and circulate strict guidelines to curb certain damages. The Board said Centre Superintendents are solely responsible for everything about examinations and can call the police anytime if require. The ultimate aim is to conduct the coveted examination in a peaceful manner. Reports also suggest that CBSE has pulled up the examination centre supervisors for not ‘discharging their duties strictly’. From now on, if any dodge comes into notice, it is them who will be held responsible for explanation.
CBSE also stated that apart from the centre superintendents, no other person is allowed to carry mobile phones or any electronic devices inside the examination hall. In fact, the sealed question paper folders cannot be opened before 10 am, which earlier was 9:45 am. Any violation of this will be dealt strictly. On March 15, Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia tweeted about the incident of class 12 paper leak and directed CBSE officials to investigate the matter. They were fairly quick and within few hours, the board confirmed— “There was no such paper leak”.
As per media reports, the board has decided to lodge a First Investigation Report against those who circulated the rumours and an expert committee will look into the allegations of paper leak. Sisodia said that swift action must be taken so that hard-working students do not suffer due to the “negligence” 0f CBSE. Few days ago, the board notified the examination centres to ensure safe delivery of answer books when an authorized private school examiner was identified carrying the answer sheets of chemistry openly in Delhi metro.
Paper leak and mass cheating has been the biggest hurdles that disturb the exam environment in India. While the board exams are continuing, not just CBSE but other state boards have also improved measures to control the examination hindrance. But reports suggest that the boards are still striving to stop the damages. The Bihar state board has made it clear this time to students about not wearing shoes and socks inside the examination centres and the board has seen a massive fall out of students appearing the exam. Maharashtra state board again arrested four persons for allegedly abetting the HSC chemistry paper leak. The board had sealed question papers in bundles of 25 and directed the examiners to be opened in the exam hall minutes before the distribution. With such stringent steps, we hope that the board exams end peacefully, and students surpass the examination with flying colours.
