PATNA: Cheating in the ongoing state Board matriculation exams in Bihar has literally scaled new heights. As shocking visuals of large-scale copying by students emerged where parents and helpers were seen scaling three to four storey exam centres to pass on chits to their wards, 515 students have been caught and expelled in two days.
But the state Education Minister P K Shahi today a different take on the episode that occurred right under the nose of policemen, saying the government alone cannot ensure 100 per cent cheating-free examinations of this huge magnitude. Bihar School Examination Board Secretary Sriniwas Tiwari told PTI that a total of 515 students have been expelled.
