Reduced number of violators caught in the HSC Exams 2020

On Monday he annual High School Certificate Examination-2020 concluded. Notably, a decline was noticed in the number of examinees booked for malpractice. In 2019, 1,133 students were caught cheating during the examination, while a total of 829 matriculation examinees were booked for cheating this year. The drop in the number of examinees charged for adopting unfair means in the examination is the consequence of strict vigilance measures taken by the authorities concerned.

“All the examinations were incident-free. Tight security arrangements were made at all the 2,888 examination centres as a precautionary measure for conducting the examination in a free and fair manner,” said the president of the Board of Secondary Education, Ramashis Hazra.

Meantime, elaborate methods have been developed for error-free evaluation of matriculation answer sheets scheduled to start from March 18 at 61 centres over the state. More than 15,000 teachers will be involved in the evaluation process.
