INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
BENGALURU: Determined to avoid malpractices throughout SSLC and PUC assessments, the Karnataka government has actually decided to rope in
CID, police intelligence sleuths and cyber police as part of its Secure Examination System project.Besides, the government will keep an eye
on social media to track posts on the evaluation or question documents
Wanting to conduct an incident-free assessment this year, school education minister BC Nagesh on Tuesday held a brainstorming session with
the home minister and top cops officials.This year, II PU exams will be held from March 9 to 29, and SSLC tests from March 31 to April 15
Due to Covid, there were a few relaxations in the conduct of examinations in the past
This year, we will be securing the procedure with the participation of different wings of the authorities department, the minister
said.Habitual wrongdoers are under scanner I concur authorities will be hectic with survey tasks, however tests are similarly important,
Nagesh said.While question paper packages are secured with barcodes for round-the-clock tracking, intelligence sleuths will watch on copying
units, internet cafes, gaming joints and other most likely places where evildoers might enjoy malpractices
Cyber police will assist the department in tracking naughty posts on assessment
Miscreants can produce a concern paper with random questions and distribute it as the authentic paper
Such posts and messages will be tracked and dealt with firmly, a senior education officer said.This apart, the government is viewing
regular wrongdoers, who will be taken into preventive custody
Security at evaluation centres, which had formerly experienced question paper leaks, will be improved
No electronic gizmos will be enabled inside the evaluation centre and wall clocks will be supplied in every space to help trainees, Nagesh
said.From this year, trainees will get fresh marks cards if revaluation throws up a difference of even one mark
Previously, fresh marks cards were provided only if a student got 5-6 marks more, he said.
