Class 12 Student Sticks Rs 500 Note in Answer Sheet to Bribe Examiner, Gets Suspended For A Year
In a recent incident of bribing an examiner, a student of class 12 from the science stream was debarred from appearing for Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board examinations for one year after he attached Rs 500 note to the answer sheet.
“In a bid to clear the examination, a student of the science stream, who appeared by the board exam in April, stuck a Rs 500 note inside the answer sheet of the Chemistry paper with glue. Someone must have told him that such tricks might work to pass the exam,” the board official said.
When the examiner found the note while correcting the paper, he reported it to the board for further action, he said. After recording the student’s statement, the exam committee of the board withheld his results and banned him from appearing for the exam for the next one year, the official said.
“As a punishment, he has to now appear for the board exam in March next year. Although students who fail two papers are allowed to appear in a supplementary exam in July, this student was not allowed to sit for that exam as a punishment,” he said. Notably, students who are caught with mobile phones are debarred for three years as punishment by the board, the official added.
