Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has initiated stringent action against teachers/ staff allegedly involved in unfair practices during CBSE Class X and Class XII Board examinations at two centres in Bargarh.
This is based on the recommendations of the CBSE.
The incident was reported from OAV, Bandhupalli, and Padampur Public School, where students of six schools, including four OAVs, appeared for the examinations. The CBSE Regional Office, Bhubaneswar, constituted a sub-committee to probe the matter after it came to light. The committee after examining all evidence, answer books, various reports, CCTV footage, and other related documents established that unfair practices were adopted at these two examination centres, an official release said.
“The state government has taken a serious view of this matter as use of unfair means in examinations is an injustice to honest hardworking students and adversely affects their future,” it said.
The release added that students, who were found to have adopted unfair means as per the May 26 CBSE report, will appear for supplementary examination to be held from July 25.
