To prevent the paper leak of class 10 and 12 exams CBSE is planning to use encrypted paper

In order to prevent the boar exam papers from leaking, CBSE is planning to use the encrypted papers during the class 10 and 12 exams. This year, class 12th economics paper and class 10th math exam question papers were leaked and CBSE had to face major embarrassment because of the incidents. The board conducted the class 12 economics exams but did not conduct the class 10 exam stating that there was no sudden spike in the performance of the students and the question paper was leaked only in the Delhi region. Under the encrypted system, the exam centers will be provided with login details and encrypted question papers. The question papers will be printed and photocopied in the exam centers. “As a pilot project, we did this (used the encrypted system) for the class X compartment exam. There was no problem with it. We realized that the number of (test) centers were fewer — just 32. For the board examinations, we have almost 4,500 exam centers and close to 30 lakh children, so the board is deliberating on providing infrastructure at the examination centers,” CBSE secretary Anurag Tripathi said. He further added “the board would also provide a printed set of question papers in the banks in case of an emergency like technical glitches.” The board is also planning to provide the logistic support to exam centers for implementing the encrypted system.
