CBSE to issue an 'Instruction Module' to discourage the students from cheating

CBSE to issue an 'Instruction Module' to discourage the students from cheating



On Friday, a senior board official said that soon CBSE will issue a circular to discourage the students from cheating in the board exams. CBSE has been working on a module from quite sometime and it is now in its final form, the official added. "Cheating is an individual malpractice. This year we are doing something special to bring down the instances of cheating. We will be issuing a module to the schools by next week. It talks about why cheating is unethical and immoral. It will have case studies to that effect," the official said requesting anonymity. According to the reports from media, the number of cheating cases during the 2017 exams (119) were doubled from the previous year 2016 (56). The number of cheating cases in 2018 exams was similar to the numbers in 2017. The official also assured leak proof examination this year. In 2018 question papers of Mathematics and Economics for Class 10 and 12 respectively were leaked due to which CBSE’s image of being a formidable examiner suffered a heavy blow. "I cannot reveal the security mechanism we have brought in. But we have put in place a system which will help us identify any malpractice if it takes place. The system has been strengthened at all levels," said the official. "We are conducting exams a little early this year at the instruction of the Delhi High Court, which had said that the schools’ results should not coincide in anyway with the Delhi University admission. To that effect, the results this year will be announced early in May," the official added.
