Kids Evaluate University Examination Copies, Major Racket Exposed
By Brij Khandelwal
Agra: In the day, UP governor TV Rajeshwar Rao was vexing eloquent at a seminar in St. John's College, about his Herculean efforts to tone up higher education in state and the manner hundreds of private institutions of higher learning had been de-recognized by him, and the very same evening media persons with police parties raided a house in Lawyers' Colony, on a tip off, and were shocked to see kids and non-metric students evaluating answer copies of Choudhary Charan Singh University of Meerut.
8th pass kids were giving marks on the basis of handwriting and diagrams, evaluating copies of Bachelor of Physiotherapy. Students engaged for the work got Rs.4/- to 5/- per copy. One girl said she could check up to 20 copies in a day.
At the initiative of district magistrate Sanjay Prasad a team of cops raided the house in Girraj Nagar around 11pm. Half a dozen people were taken into custody. What came out as a revelation is that this racket of checking copies of various universities had been going on for quite some time. The son of a former registrar of Agra University was identified as the person who had organized the mass copies evaluation programme. Interestingly, copies being evaluated were of a wide variety of courses including LLB, Medical, BCA and BBA.
Kingpin, Parle Baijnath, has been a student of MITM at Agra University. He informed the police that a Ghaziabad teacher RP Singh had provided the copies for evaluation. Police found a large stock of confidential envelopes, marks foils and scores of bundles piled up in the room, many still to be opened. More than 250 bundles had been sealed and another 250 remained to be checked till late night.
An official said one of the evaluators had the job of being constantly in touch on his mobile with touts to identify those who wanted good marks. Deals were struck.
The whole examination system has now come under scrutiny. When instances of similar irregularities in Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University were highlighted some time back, the university management found one particular college having passed all the students with flying marks, even those who had not taken the examinations.
