Bhubaneswar: Odisha School and Mass Education (S&ME) Minister Samir Dash on Thursday hinted at stern action against officials while asserting that question papers of annual matriculation examination will not go viral this year.
Exuding confidence, Dash said that question papers of the annual high school certificate examination conducted by Board of Secondary Education (BSE) will not go viral this year as a special coding system has been introduced to curb such incident. In case the confidential documents go viral, stern action will be taken against the official in charge of the examination centre.
“I do not think that the question paper will go viral this time. If the question paper goes viral from any centre or any student, action will be taken against them,” Dash said.
The minister further stated that earlier problems were being faced to immediately track from which centre the question papers were going viral.
“There won't be delay in identifying the circumstances, source from where question papers have been leaked or made viral this time. The moment the question papers is out on social media, it can be ascertained immediately. Whoever will be responsible, stern action will be taken,” Dash added.
