The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) started high school examination with Hindi paper on Monday. First day, fake question paper was circulated on social media from Indore that raised alarm among the officials. Though exam was scheduled from 9 am to 12 noon but examinees were reaching at centre around 7 am. The board has also asked students to reach the centre at least an hour before the schedule time. A 46-years-old woman caught the attention of gathering at a exam centre in Bhopal where she reached to write her class X examination. The lady said that she was desperate to complete her studies but her parents did not allow her to pursue school education. When she got married, her husband did not allow her. She said that her children are graduate and well educated. She wanted to complete her studies and she does not care for the age.

 

According to reports, a few students were not allowed to enter the exam hall at Government Naveen High School no 1 even after displaying their admit card. Officials denied their entry saying that Aadhaar card is mandatory with other documents. However, matter was extended by parents and they contacted the district education officer in this regards. Later, DEO A K Pathak directed the concerned teachers to allow them in exam hall. There are 3,868 exam centres across the State and this includes 302 sensitive and 309 super sensitive. There are 992101 students appearing the class X exam. This includes 476339 female and 515762 male students. There are 16 centres in Bhopal kept under sensitive (6) and super sensitive (10) category.

 

An iron is placed outside of each exam hall where examinees are supposed to surrender the chit or any cheating material carried with them. The board has made special arrangement at all centres to bring transparency in exam. Each student is being allowed in the hall after proper searching. Collector representative and police team is assigned at each centre to put a curb on unfair means. CCTV camera and videography is being held at all centres. This year board has also introduced some changes in paper distribution system. Officials are keeping an eye on circulation of paper through GPS.

With beginning of board exam, fake groups on social media became active to lure the examinees for question paper before the exam in exchange of some amount. Every day many fake groups are promising students to provide the paper before exam and in exchange they are offering paid membership of their channel. Once any student pays the amount to get membership of channel or group, the particular group get vanish from the site and few other new groups get formed. These groups are making false promise to provide the original question paper before exam during morning hours.

MPBSE informed that before starting the Hindi exam of class X examinees, social media groups claimed to leak the paper in Indore. The board said that paper claimed to be leaked on social media did not match with the original paper. When expert team checked the paper circulated on social media with original one, it was completely different. Officials said that anti social elements are misleading students with false information. MPBSE has appealed examinees to stay away from such groups and do not get trapped in them. The board said, all papers are kept under strict security and no one can get the paper before exam.
