PU VC Bans Cell Phones at Test Centers
Patna: April 6, 2007
At a high-level meeting of the Patna University officials convened by Vice Chancellor Y. C. Simadri on Friday, it was decided that no cell phone will be allowed inside the examination centers to prevent examinees from engaging in unfair means.
"Students will be searched for mobile phones at the test centers. Those who are found to be in possession of the device will be fined Rs. 500 on the spot and those who are found to be using a cell phone inside the test center will be expelled from the university, Dr. Simadri said.
The meeting was held despite being a holiday on account of Good Friday.
The Vice Chancellor, who has vowed to eradicate use of unfair means at Patna University exams, ordered no concession against anyone who was found to be engaged in cheating.
Every official that enters into the test center or leaves the premises will have to sign a log book to maintain complete transparency in the system, Dr. Simadri said.
Among those present at the meeting were examination controller Dr. Surendra Snigdha, Dr. R. K. Mandal and proctor Dr. Kriteshwar Prasad.
