Punishments to 3,500 students, caught cheating during the +2 examination

BHUBANESWAR:

 The Council of Higher Secondary Education  CHSE is planning to award different types of punishments to 3,500 students, who were caught using unfair means during the +2 examination.

Last year, 2000 students were found copying. All of them had got the same penalty of cancellation of their respective papers.

CHSE chairman Basudeb Chhatoi said a committee has been constituted to review the malpractice cases individually. "If there is no conclusive evidence against an examinee, he or she will be let off. However, depending on gravity of the crime, the punishments may go up," Chhatoi said.

Chhatoi said the committee will decide whether to debar a student for a particular period of time from appearing for the examination, scrap the particular paper or any other punishment on case to case basis.

Official sources said CHSE, which has already completed evaluation of +2 answer sheets, is busy in tabulation of marks. "Hopefully, the tabulation work will be over by another couple of days," Chhatoi said.

Chhatoi said the council is most likely to publish results of all the streams, science, commerce, arts and vocational, by the first week of June. "We are completing works of science stream on priority. If we fail to complete the process for other streams, results of science will be published first," he said.


The state government has been insisting on publication of results of science at the earliest as the same would be required to draw merit lists of JEE  main. +2 marks are being given 40% weightage in JEE (main), whose ranks will be the basis of admission in many central-funded technical institutions such as NITs, besides engineering colleges in Odisha
