Chennai: Some CBSE schools across Tamil Nadu have manipulated the XII class X and class exam results by leaking question letters and making their teachers help students answer them, according to complaints to the school board.
Whistleblower is the CBSE School Management Association (CSMA), the organization of the school umbrella in Tamil Nadu.
Have asked the central council for secondary education to cancel the exam, which began in December the first week.
This academic year, CBSE has introduced a new test pattern for class X and XII.
The first phase, in December, has multiple choice questions (MCQ) and the second phase, which is scheduled for March, requires descriptive answers.
CBSE allows all schools to do and evaluate December exam papers themselves, with only one external supervisor.
CSMA said fraudsters violated this belief.
CSMA has sent an eight-page CBSE letter which details how the question paper leaked to students through WhatsApp, LAN and as a hard copy.
Students will be made to sit in a separate hall and be given an answer before they are sent to the exam hall.
Students are also taught to manipulate OMR sheets.
First, the school asks students to write the ‘C’ option (in lowercase), in the last answer box if they are not sure of the answer.
After the exam, the teachers will change ‘C’ to ‘A’ or ‘B’ or ‘D’, which is the right answer, according to the letter accessed by TOI.
The source said, it’s easy to change ‘C’ (lowercase letters) to other letters, which is why students are asked to write it when they are not sure of the answer.
CBSE gets the wind of this practice – at this time the main subject is done – and decides that only capital letters must be used when choosing an answer option.
Secretary CSMA P Ashok Shankar said the mistake then began to tell the students to leave empty boxes if they did not know the answer.
The teachers will later fill the correct answer.
Ashok Shankar said that because there was only one external observer at school, the teacher could easily manipulate the answer script.
In many schools, 15 to 20 students get full value, and no students fail because of this malpractice.
“The career and enthusiasm of students standing are completely destroyed today and their future has been under the clouds,” he said.
Although the regional officer Chennai CBSE Dinesh RAM was not available for comments, other board sources confirmed that they were looking for complaints.
“The council has trusted the school to conduct a fair way.
It is unfortunate if they abuse the gap in the process,” said a high-ranking CBSE who asked for anonymity.
CBSE has announced that it will not declare the graduation status or fail to exam the term I.
Only the sign will be considered while offering the end result of the year, officially more.
