AHMEDABAD: Cheating may also be weighed. This was proved when Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHEB) officials seized over 200kg of fabrics to meant to be used in cheating from an exam centre in Vanthali town of Junagadh right through the category XII science examination in the second one week of March. Board officials had to requisition 20 sacks to pack the chits, which most commonly constructed from micro-sized photocopies of answers.
This revelation was made at a hearing the exam committee of the Gujarat board on Wednesday, which too took a serious view of the case and decided to summon the examination coordinator of the centre and the invigilators.
N C Shah, vice-chairman of the board, stated, “We summoned 15 students who have been allegedly cheating and we will be able to also summon all of the supervisors and the centre coordinator on May 31.”
B S Kella, district training officer (DEO) of Junagadh, showed the incident and stated, “We received many complaints about irregularities in the examination held at Swaminarayan Gurukul — the examination centre concerned. When we reached there on March 14 as the category X tests have been on, we discovered roads coated with small white papers — that have been nothing but the replica fabrics dropped by means of the students.”
Kella added, “Taking word of this, we had strictly warned the category 12 science students to get rid of chits or any other replica fabrics ahead of examination. We gave no less than three warnings ahead of the Chemistry examination and with each and every caution, some students submitted their replica fabrics to board officials. During the examination, we began frisking students after which also, we discovered round 15 students with replica chits.”
Swaminarayan Gurukul in Vanthali was made a centre for board exam in 2008 but it was de-listed the very subsequent yr. This yr once more, the institute has been made a board examination centre with none recommendation from the DEO, stated sources. If the CCTV pictures of this centre is checked, then extra irregularities will surface, stated training division officials.
“We had filed replica circumstances in opposition to 15 students and began amassing the replica fabrics that have been both submitted by means of the students or discovered by means of the board officials. We ended up amassing 200 kg of chits,” added Kella.
