The unabashed and blatant use of unfair means, both during examinations and in marking, is a shocking reminder of the fact that our educational and examination system has decayed. Recently, the police found an evaluation centre in a house in Agra, where minors and some youth were checking answer sheets of professional courses, including BBA, BCA, BPT, law from various institutes affiliated to the Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut.
While some of those checking the answer sheets were class V and VI students, some others were graduates. None were either qualified or competent to check the answer sheets. The bogus evaluators were being paid up to Rs 4 for each answer sheet.
According to the investigation reports, the criterion for allotting scores was the length of the answers, as well as the quality and dimension of the diagrams. Marks were also awarded as per the negotiations or the considerations paid for.
It appears the Registrar of the Chaudhary Charan Singh University was involved in the racket along with his son, who has since been arrested. The investigators recovered about 10,000 answer sheets from the house, while more were found dumped elsewhere in Agra. About 2,000 answer sheets of professional courses were discovered from a field near Agra.
