Hyderabad: Rumours of malpractices during the Intermediate second-year exam held on Wednesday had seniors officials on their toes in both Telangana and AP. Reports were sought from the centres concerned, and the boards put out statement by evening denying any malpractice.
A few TV news channels reported allegations that the teaching staff of a few private colleges in Suryapet in Nalgonda district were taking out question papers and returning them with answers on different sheets, which were given to students for mass copying. The Nalgonda collector enquired with the district SP and Inter board officials before giving a clean chit.
Another case of malpractice was reported from an examination centre in Rapur of Nellore district. There were rumours that the exam paper was leaked at 8 am. Some channels reported that parents had lodged a complaint with the police.
Mr B. Jacob, regional inspection officer, Nellore, said that the question paper bundles were opened in the presence of police and board officials between 8.15 am and 8.20 am in police stations and brought to the centres by 8.30 am. How could the paper be leaked at 8 am, he asked.
