Despite the use of technology by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE), candidates have continued to make question papers viral. The WBBSE has placed a QR code on question papers with serial numbers to identify and punish alleged rogue candidates for allegedly making question papers viral. But on the second successive day of the Madyamik Pariksha today, 12 students were barred from writing this year’s examination, claimed the Board president Ramanuj Gangopadhyay.

Every examinee has to write the question paper code in the answer sheets and sign his name alongside, which makes the tracing process easier for the authorities. After yesterday’s fiasco, the same trend of making question papers viral on social media continued as 12 students belonging to three schools of Malda and Jalpaiguri, respectively, were detected to be the culprits and appropriately barred from appearing in this year’s examination.

Ramanuj Gangopadhyay told news persons that the new technology was bearing results as 12 more candidates were tracked in quick time. Bratya Basu, the state education minister, asked to comment on the continued trend of the question papers being leaked, said, “It appeared to me a clear act of sabotage, which is underway to vilify the state government in public. We will take stern action against the perpetrators.”
