AGRA: A video, shot in a college affiliated to Agra’s Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar university, purportedly showing a teacher dictating answers to the students during an exam has prompted the varsity to launch a probe.
The video is said to have been shot on Saturday during BSc second year Zoology exam at the Agra university-affiliated self-financed college in Mathura.
In the video, the teacher can be heard telling students correct answers to the multiple-choice questions according to the serial number. Meanwhile, the university administration has ordered a probe into the entire matter.
Public relations officer of Agra University, Pradeep Shridhar, said, “We have taken cognizance of the video. The examination controller has ordered a probe in the entire matter. A response has been sought from the college management. Suitable action will be taken.”
To ensure cheating free exams, the state government had made it mandatory for all the exam centres to install CCTV cameras.
However, several colleges allegedly switch off the cameras or change their settings to prevent live telecast. University officials are not able to see footage of exam centers from the control room.
On August 3, students appearing for an exam at a private college affiliated to Agra university in Kasganj district were beaten up and their answer sheets were snatched by the exam centre staff for “not paying Rs 5,000 for cheating”. A video of the purported attack had also gone viral.
