Strict Maharasthra state board measures of little help | Strict Maharasthra state board 2012 news
Despite a slew of measures to check menace of malpractices during HSC and SSC examinations, the Maharashtra State Board has failed to keep a tab on increasing number of such cases. In six districts coming under Nagpur division, the number of cases has shown a rise of 76 in HSC exam while it declined by just six in SSC exams.
The division is infamous for such cases and topped the rogue's gallery among all eight divisions for the last many years. Last year, Amravati pushed it to the second spot with 942 cases in both exams while Nagpur division was having 740 cases. A total of 3,264 students were caught from the state engaged in unfair means during the exams last year and the board officials apprehended that the number may rise this year.
State board chairman Sarjerao Jadhav refused to comment, stating that they were yet to receive complete figures from all divisions regarding malpractice cases. Nagpur division chairman Chandramani Borkar however confirmed the rise in number of such cases stating that their strict approach had resulted in more number of students getting caught. "We concentrated on centres where the number of repeaters is more and also on notorious centres. Such centres were frequently visited by the flying squads during exams which resulted in more number of students being caught," he said.
Sources said the board had started its anti-copying drive since last two years which led to decline in passing percentage last year. Moreover, awareness and counselling drives were launched to discourage students from resorting to unfair means during exams.
HSC, SSC timetable on June 15
Board chairman Sarjerao Jadhav told TOI from Pune that like last year, this year too the timetable for the HSC and SSC examinations would be declared before the commencement of next academic session. "We will be declaring exam dates on June 15 when the new academic session starts in the state. It will help the students and their teachers in planning their studies accordingly," he said.
He added that the board was making all out efforts to declare the results at the earliest. "We're biggest board among all states with as many as 35 lakh students. Only Uttar Pradesh comes close to us. To evaluate answer-sheets of such big number of students and then making data entry is a tedious task which consumes most of the time," the board chief said.
