The university over the years has developed, what it calls a leak-proof system, using technologySurat: At a time when the Gujarat police had to cancel recruitment exam for lok rakshak dal (LRD) jawans following paper leak, the Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) seems to have the answer to the situation. It has developed a system where fresh question papers can be circulated across all centres within few minutes and exam could be conducted with fresh set of question papers.
The university had developed the system after in was put in an embarrassing situation in 2006 due to exam paper leak. Though there has been no incidents of paper leaks since them, but the university over the years has developed, what it calls a leak-proof system, using technology.
In 2006, VNSGU had to cancel annual exam of Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) as the question paper was leaked by a peon of a college in Vapi.
Under this system, university sends question papers online to the exam centres, where the respective supervisors or coordinators are required to take printout of the question papers. The centres are required to maintain certain infrastructure during exam period. Using this system, university officials claimed that they can circulate fresh question paper within 30 minutes and conduct exam within an hours time.
“We are now prepared to deal paper leak crisis. We can change question papers and the exam can be conducted in an hour without changing the date in case of a leak,” a senior official of VNSGU said.
VNSGU conducts exams of over 2 lakh students throughout the year for students of 200 colleges affiliated to it. These colleges are spread across eight districts of South Gujarat and in Union Territory of Daman.
University sends printed copies of question papers prior to exam by road. But for colleges in remote tribal districts of Narmada, Tapi, Valsad and Dang, the question paper sets are send in advance. But they are in sealed form. First the exam paper is sealed in a paper cover and that is kept in a cloth cover, which is also sealed.
Only the supervisor or coordinator at the exam centre can open the sealed cover at time of distribution of question paper.
