BANGALORE: Those of you who believe there are no short-cuts in life, read this: in six examination centres in Bangalore, all nursing students were given a copy of the filled-in answer script along with the question paper. All that the candidates needed to do was copy the answers on to their answer sheets from the photocopy provided.
When medical education minister S A Ramdass walked into Venkateshwara Engineering College on a surprise inspection on Thursday, he was stunned at the blatant mass copying, and also the manner in which it was done. The centre is in Yelahanka in North Bangalore, where third year students were writing the Paediatrics Nursing paper. Ramdass seized the answer papers, and news spread to the adjacent rooms that a surprise inspection was on. By the time he entered the other rooms, the candidates were trying to throw their chits out of the window.
A student, Thobi Thomas, from MC Vasanth Nursing College, allegedly continued to copy in front of the minister, who debarred him immediately. All these students were from 43 nursing schools in Bidar. "At least 2,400 students were found copying by the department and I have ordered postponement of the exams," the minister said.
