To prevent exam paper leaks in future, Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday urged Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar to hold a brain-storming session of all state education ministers.
In a letter written to Javadekar, Sisodia said there was need to move beyond party politics on such an important issue which has affected the lives of lakhs of students across the nation.
“Every time an examination paper is leaked – be it CBSE, SSB or DSSSB- the negative consequences are for the country and not just for any one government or one party,” he said.

“While two examinations have been cancelled and re-tests ordered, there have been concerns regarding leaks of several other exam papers as well.”
“Not only does it affect the future of 26 lakh students, but also puts a question mark on the sanctity of the CBSE assessment system; a system on which students, parents and schools from all over the country place their trust,” he added.
Meanwhile, students across the nation are continuing their protests against the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) over the leakage of Class 10 Maths and Class 12 Economics question papers.
On Friday, the Delhi Police zeroed in over 10 WhatsApp groups for circulating photographs of the exam papers in the groups that have at least 50 to 60 members each.
It is said that question papers for the Maths and Economics examinations which were conducted on Monday and Wednesday, respectively, this week were in circulation for days before they came to be acknowledged as “leaks” by the board.
An Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed on Wednesday after the CBSE registered two cases with the Crime Branch.
The first case was registered on Tuesday evening about Class 12 Economics question paper leak and the second related to the leak of Class 10 Maths paper was filed on Wednesday.
