The government has ordered re-examination in the SSLC English II paper in a district.
In a statement in the Assembly on Wednesday, the Education Minister said that the invigilators in seven rooms of a Higher Secondary school had been given a packet containing the question paper for English II instead of English I on March 22. The mistake had been realized after more than 15 minutes and the question paper were withdrawn and deposited with the paper custodian.
Denying reports the question papers had been ‘leaked’, the Minister speculated that the opportunity to make a fast buck out of the situation could have been made use of by some. He said enquiries by his department as well as the CID had revealed that the question papers reportedly ‘leaked’ and in circulation had nothing in common with the actual question paper.
The government had ordered a re-examination taking into consideration the possibilities of the invigilators remembering some of the questions in the ‘leaked’ paper.
Two officials have been suspended for the leakage of the exam papers, according to sources. They are the departmental officer and the custodian of the papers, both based at the district headquarters.
