Indore: Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) pending examinations for class 12th start from today, i.e. June 9. About 22,000 students will be appearing for the pending examinations.
Unlike every year, when invigilators check students’ pocket for cheating slips and papers, this year, no such checking would be done. The checking protocol has been cancelled considering the risk of spreading coronavirus .
As an alternative to control cheating in board examination, eight flying squads have been constituted in Indore by District Education Officer (DEO) Rajendra Makhwani.
However, on being caught, students will be required to submit slips and copies. Further, they will face consequences from the board as decided by DEO.
Examination for all the main subjects of class 12th will be conducted, as they were pending before the lockdown was enforced.
The department has also instructed all the teachers engaged in the examination work to keep in mind their own safety and that of the students.
In the examination hall, invigilators will not be allowed to check the student's question paper or answer book.
If a student is copying by placing a slip or copy material under the question paper or copy, then the student will be required to pick up the question paper, answer-sheet, cheat-sheet, etc. and submit it.
Invigilator and central head will register a case against the child.
