Chandigarh, September 12
The Punjab School Education Board office was today flooded with complaints that papers of the online examination, scheduled to be held for Class VI to Class X from tomorrow, were leaked. Officials termed these complaints as rumours.

Students of these classes are to be evaluated through papers that will be sent online for subjects of mathematics, science, Punjabi, Hindi, English and social sciences.

A senior official requesting anonymity said, “We have heard that fake papers are being sold for Rs 500 in the state. This can’t be possible because we have not sent any papers yet. Only evaluation tools have been forwarded to schools.”

The officer said, “These exams do not carry pass or fail grades and are a part of the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) exercise.“

A senior schoolteacher said, “Instead of rubbishing reports of paper leaks, the department should look into the issue. There are other issues too. Since computers at many schools are not working, papers could not be downloaded. Moreover, several schools did not have printers.”
