PRAYAGRAJ, March 26 -- Despite the installation of CCTV cameras with audio recording at UP Board examination centres, new methods of malpractice continue to surface. After previously relying on verbal dictation to facilitate cheating, some centres have reportedly adopted a different approach: getting 'B' copies written separately and later attaching them to the original 'A' copies. The latest case has emerged from Pt Anantram Pandey Intermediate College, Lehari Basahi in Karchana, Prayagraj. Answer sheets from this centre were dispatched to a district in western Uttar Pradesh for evaluation. During assessment, examiners discovered serious irregularities in 42 out of 286 Intermediate Chemistry answer sheets. Evaluators noted that the handwriting in several 'B' copies was distinctly different from that in the corresponding 'A' copies. In some papers, answers in the attached 'B' copies were written in English, despite the rest of the paper being completed in Hindi. Moreover, the signatures of invigilators on the original and attached copies also failed to match. In multiple instances, students had crossed out previously written answers in the 'A' copy and rewritten the same solutions entirely in a different handwriting in the 'B' copy. The deputy controller of the evaluation centre submitted a detailed report to the district inspector of schools (DIOS), stating that the integrity of these 42 answer sheets appears to have been compromised. The report seeks instructions on how to proceed with these suspicious copies. Following the DIOS's communication, UP Board secretary Bhagwati Singh has demanded comprehensive reports from all evaluation centres that received answer sheets from the said centre in Karchana. He also requested CCTV footage and a full inquiry report from the DIOS, Prayagraj, to determine how the malpractice was carried out and who may be responsible....
