AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) has stuck 96 copycats from an examination centre at Kawali in Shehera in Panchmahal district for mass copying in English (2d language) paper in SSC assessments held not too long ago.
Interestingly, it was once their collective very best pal 'Vikram' who spilled the beans as all 96 students had written a photocopy essay on 'My Best Friend' without converting the identify and fundamental traits of their good friend.
Sources within the GSHSEB mentioned that the board was once alerted about mass copying in six centres including Kawali, Gondal, Mota Konda, Kodinar, Mahisagar and Morva Raina within the last leg of the SSC forums. Following this, papers of 240 students suspected to have been interested in mass copying was once set aside for scrutiny.
"A total of 96 students of Kawali exam centre were confirmed to have mass copied either through chits or a teacher having dictated to them as their entire essay was unusually similar with Vikram all 96 students' best friend who plays tennis. All of them met Vikram in school, he is an intellectual boy and is environment enthusiast. What's more, all students had same mistakes too; the glaring one being 'Only we call in (instead of him) Vicky" mentioned a board member.
The students have been summoned to the GSHSEB's Gandhinagar place of job for questioning by the exam reforms committee.
Board to give exemplary punishment
Most of the scholars may now not even write the essay identify ‘My Best Friend' in English. Some may now not even spell Vikram appropriately. Alarmingly, some may now not even write their names appropriately,” added the member.
Incidentally, the CCTV footage from the centre is not steady. “Disruptive electrical energy supply has been cited as the rationale,” mentioned assets.
Chairman of GSHSEB A J Shah mentioned that the board is decided to get to the foundation of this mass copying and set exemplary punishment to curb the risk. “We have summoned the exam centre supervisor and other supervising academics on May 24 to get their statements. If they are found accountable of facilitating mass copying, exemplary motion will probably be initiated," mentioned Shah.
