No Effect Of Question Paper Leak On HSC Exams: Minister

Bhubaneswar: Odisha government on Thursday maintained that the leak of question papers online had in no way affected the annual High School Certificate exams.

“The leak of questions papers neither had any effect on the exams, nor on the students,” School and Mass Education minister Badri Narayan Patra told journalists here. “The examinations are going on smoothly at all centres in Odisha.”

Justifying his contention, the minister asked how answers will reach candidates inside exam halls if the question papers go viral on social media.”

He, however, admitted to a fault in OMR sheets. “Yes. There are faults in the OMR sheets,” he said. “The Board of Secondary Education has informed me about this. Considering the matter, it has been decided that OMR answer sheets will not be evaluated online as the board has decided for offline evaluation.”
