When the entire country is chanting Gandhian mantras and
fighting for a corruption-free society, closer home, Bangalore University on Monday
decided to annul exams after students were found copying.
Students were caught copying in examination centres for correspondence and distance
education, second and third-year B.A, B.Com and BBM courses.
The director of correspondence courses and distance education found students writing
the exam with textbooks open before them when he went on rounds following complaints.
In Davanagere, in a gap of four minutes, I caught eight students copying. In Vijaynagar,
Bangalore, somebody was standing on the top of the building to caution the others.
Then on the students pretended to write and just kept looking at each other, said
Niranjan B R, director.
The department had received complaints from students about mass copying.
The exams that started on August 16 is being conducted at 27 centres for 10,000
students. Copying was reported at Vijayanagar Independent PU College, Diksuchi Education
Trust, Davanagere (reported by observers), Government First Grade College, Koppal,
