Now a Software to keep an eye on cheating during the exam

This year, more than 58 lakh students have registered for the UP board exams which are scheduled to be held in February next week. Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said that exams will commence on February 7 and will be conducted in the 16 working days. He also said that the government has taken a lot of measures to prevent cheating during the exams. Minister told that a new software has been designed to check the menace of copying in UP board class 10th and 12th exams. He also said that the exam centers which had reported the maximum cases of cheating in year’s exam will be monitored more strictly. "At sensitive exam centers, Aadhaar of students has been linked with registration. However, not every centre across the state has been linked to Aadhaar. A district-wise list of suspicious centres has also been prepared," he said. Talking about the incidents of copying, Mr. Sharma said that in past years copying was so rampant in the state that students from specific states were kept at one exam center. "At these centers, stringent measures have been initiated to ensure that use of unfair means does not take place. Last year, a strict vigil was maintained on suspicious centers. As a result, 67 persons were arrested from a place. A press printing answer sheets were unearthed in Jaunpur, while a gang involved in the leakage of question paper was busted in Hardoi. Impersonators were caught in Kaushambi and Aligarh," he said. "There were large-scale irregularities involved in setting up of an examination centre. Now schools desirous of becoming exam centers have to apply online and submit details of facilities. The software will choose the centre while keeping in mind laid down parameters and criteria,” said Sharma. "Owing to efforts of the UP government", Mr Sharma also said, "use of unfair means has stopped, and the number of students studying in government schools has increased by 18-20 per cent".
