Sharp Fall In Cheating Cases On First Day
Of Up Board Exams
LUCKNOW:- Kept under the
'sensitive' zone for cheating, no case of copying was reported from UP's Ballia
district on first day of UP board examinations. In 2017, maximum
of 24 cases of cheating were reported alone from Ballia. In fact, UP Secondary Education Board, which conducts
the UP class X and XII board examinations received only 16
complaints of cheating by students, as against 110 received last year. Highest
of three complaints came from Mathura, followed by two cases, each from Kannauj
and Pratapgarh.
Decoy team set up
by Special Task Force of UP police managed to crackdown on Bal Bharti Inter
College, which facilitated mass copying. According to additional SP, Allahabad
unit Praveen Chauhan, some persons were found dictating answers to the
examinees in a hall, where class XII students were appearing for general Hindi
exam. School principal Shiv Prasad, invigilator Anil Tiwari and staff members
Shiv Shankar Mishra were placed under arrest, and the cheating material was
seized.
Figures released by UPSEB showed that three FIRs were lodged. In
Chandauli, Sudhir Kumar Singh, school manager of Rama Shankar Inter College and
a 'fake' invigilator, 22-year-old Surendra Pratap were sent behind bars for
facilitating mass copying. Here, a class X girl was rusticated for using unfair
means. In Pratapgarh, a case was registered against a student caught
impesonating. In Gorakhpur, centre superintendent of Gram Sthali Balika Inter
College was changed on doubts of mass copying.
Overall, 1.80 lakh examinees skipped the exam. In class X, 53,100
candidates out of 9,77,854 who registered, remained absent. Class X students
had Home Science in the first shift. In class XII, 1,27,726 examinees dropped
out of the exam. Class XII students had Hindi in the morning shift and general
Hindi in the afternoon shift. While 9,63,510 candidates had registered for
Hindi, the figure for general Hindi was 18,98,301.
Meanwhile, deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma carried out surprise
inspection of eight examination centres in Jaunpur. The visit came following
recent reports of arrest of a book store owner for printing fake answer sheets
of UP board exams here. The centres where Sharma visited were Dr Bhim Rao
Ambedkar Inter College, Kisan Adarsh Rastriya Inter College, Fauzdar Inter
College, Bholanath Shastri Niketan Inter College, Swami Vivekanand Inter
College, Balbhadra Inter College, Maharana Pratap Inter College and Government
Girls Inter College.
Though nothing objectionable was found from any of these centres,
Sharma reiterated that his government is committed to conduct cheating free
exams.
