BHOPAL: The Professional Education Board (PEB) aka Vyapam is in trouble again. Two recruitment exams conducted by board in 2020 and 2021 have been cancelled as the exam papers were allegedly leaked said home minister Narottam Mishra on Friday. The nursing recruitment exams are also in trouble as the agency that conducted the other two exams has been cancelled.
Former chief minister Kamalnath has demanded a CBI probe.
Examinations held in the year 2020 and 2021 were scrutinised. During this it came to light that the question papers of 3 out of 10 examinations were leaked. The firm that gave the technical help to PEB in conducting the examination is under investigation. Incidentally, it is the same company that also conducts Railway Recruitment Exams.
Narottam said that so far, the involvement of any PEB employee has not been found, but the cyber cell will investigate it. Home minister said that this is a serious matter. From now on every result will be scrutinized, so that now there is no possibility of any kind of error.
Senior agricultural extension officer and rural agricultural extension officer exams have been cancelled. Mishra said this has been revealed in the investigation of 10 examinations taken between 2020-21. The examinations were conducted but the result was not released.
Mishra said that there was information about the leak of the question paper. “Some students also complained about this forgery. After that all were examined. The result of the exam is not out yet. The examination has been cancelled on the basis of scrutiny. As soon as the complaint was received, the SEDC (Technical Committee) investigated the examinations,” said Mishra.
