NAGPUR: Candidates appearing for the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) on July 25 will have to pay as much attention to the dress code as they do to their academic preparation. The exam conducting body, CBSE, has banned shoes along with various other clothing and accessories inside examination hall fearing that it might aid in concealing electronic communication devices.
TOI had earlier reported about CBSE's plans to lay down strict security plans and a dress code for the exam after a hi-tech cheating scandal led to the Supreme Court ordering a retest.
Female candidates will have to leave even their basic ornaments like earrings, rings, bracelets, nose pin etc at home, else they won't be allowed to appear for the exam. Don't count on divine intervention either as lucky charms, pendants and tabeez are also barred from the hall. Shoes make way for open slippers as the central board needs to be sure that no communication device is hidden there. Only half sleeves T-shirt/kurta is allowed and that too ones with small buttons.
For the first time ever, the central board has written specifically to parents of candidates, urging them to ensure that their ward adheres to the strict guidelines and does not lose out on the chance to appear for the exam. The emotional appeal is aimed at providing an extra layer of security and putting onus on parents to ensure smooth conduct of AIPMT.
Clarifying on the need for a retest, the CBSE wrote to parents: "Board is aware that you have put in lots of efforts as well as spent your hard earned money in preparation of your ward for this examination. But because of dishonest intentions of a few persons, your efforts and money both have gone waste". It then appeals to parents to support CBSE and see that their ward complies with the instructions.
Sameer Phale, a medical exam trainer, said, "Re-conducting the exam was a wrong decision as students who study throughout the year suffer since their rhythm is broken. However, the strict guidelines will definitely discourage cheating to some level."
