Students say maths paper leaked half an hour before exam

Engineering students of the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), who wrote their second semester mathematics backlog paper on Thursday, alleged that the question paper was leaked about half an hour prior to the examination.
Vice-Chancellor Karisiddappa, however, said it cannot be concluded that there was a leak, pending inquiry. He said the IT team was verifying the issue and looking through all their records.
The examination was scheduled at 9.30 a.m. and students alleged that the question paper was being circulated on social networking platforms about half an hour before that. A student, who appeared for the examination, said they compared the paper that was being circulated on WhatsApp with the one they received and found all the questions to be the same.
“We have sought a report from all affiliated colleges. Once the inquiry is complete, the university will decide on the next course of action,” Mr. Karisiddappa said. “We have sought CCTV camera footage at all levels that includes question paper downloading, packing, and distributing it to the students.” He said the university would issue a detailed statement on Monday.
VTU follows an online examination method where colleges have access to download the question papers half an hour before.
While the university has claimed that the online question paper delivery system was “foolproof”, experts and principals have urged the university to rethink how “secure” this system is. “With the current technology, issuing question papers to colleges even half an hour before the examination is dangerous as it can be circulated to students within seconds,” a principal of a city-based engineering college said.

Goods and Services Tax: Many issues still unresolved Ensuring fewer tax slabs, smooth operation of refunds and less complicated paperwork are some challenges ahead NEW DELHI: ON July 1, Goods and Services Tax (GST) completes one year. While many of the initial shocks seems to have settled, the technical snag, uneven tax slab at 28 per cent, long waiting periods at e-way bill clearance points and delays in refunds to the exporters suggest that the agenda remains unfinished yet. “We have crossed the first hurdle. As we go forward, other issues will also be resolved step by step,” Finance Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said. The view is endorsed by both industry leaders and experts, who feel that the launch remains more or less successful. However, what will keep the government engaged in the coming months would be ensuring fewer tax slabs, smooth operation of refunds and less complicated paperwork, along with bringing the petrol and diesel prices under the GST ambit. “W...
