To ensure cheating free board exams, Bihar Board has banned the shoes and socks in the examination center as a result students are appearing for their board exams wearing flip flops. The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) in a notification has made it clear that the students wearing shoes and socks will not be allowed to sit for the exams.
BSEB chairman Anand Kishor said, “Students cannot wear shoes and socks to examination centers. Such practice has already been in place in some competitive examinations. Students can wear slippers. All district education officers and examination center superintendents have been instructed to follow the boardʼs order,” Patna district has a maximum of 74 examination centers, where 82,500 students will write their papers.
According to the reports, more than 1000 students were penalized for cheating during the class 12 board exams, which concluded on February 17.
A BSEB official said, “Though all examination centers have CCTVs installed since last yearʼs examination, the state board did not want to take any chance. We know this move would receive criticism from several quarters. We do not find anything objectionable with the step given the (large) scale of the examination.”
