The Kerala human rights
commission (KHRC) has suo motu registered a case in connection with the
incident in which a girl student was asked to remove her top innerwear
before attending the national eligibility-cum-entrance test (NEET)
conducted by the central board of secondary education (CBSE) on Sunday .
The panel has also sought a report from the CBSE regional director and Kannur district police chief in this regard.
KHRC acting chairperson P Mohana Das said prima facie it was a case of human rights violation and a high-level probe was required. “We have also sought a report from Kerala University, which has a role in the conduct of the examination. Since this is a nationallevel examination, the national human rights commission has also been alerted,“ added Das.
The Kerala state women's commission (KSWC) has also initiated a probe into this incident. “We have asked an officer of the rank of DSP to conduct an inquiry , and appropriate ac tion will be taken based on the report,“ said commission member J Prameela Devi.
Meanwhile, T P M Ibrahim Khan, president of Kerala CBSE school management association, said that CBSE must investigate the incident.
“The reason why CBSE has such strict rules is to prevent malpractices. But it should not amount to harassing the student. NEET has become a very important examination for students who intend to study medicine and their morale cannot be affected like this before the examination,“ he said.
The victims are planning to approach the CBSE and the KHRC. “We feel humiliated. Such an incident is beyond imagination and we want to make sure that it is not repeated in future,“ said Rajesh Nambiar, a parent whose daughter had to change her pair of jeans because it had metal buttons and pockets. It was on Sunday that the incident was reported from TISK English Medium School at Kovvappuram near Kunhimangalam in Kannur, where the girls were asked to remove anything that had metallic parts because the CBSE guidelines did not permit metallic items inside the halls.
Payyannur MP P K Sreemathi ermed this as a barbaric act and said she would take up this issue with the authorities.
4 `errors' in NEET paper: Experts
New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) amid unprecedented security on Sunday. But was the question paper error free? In an exam, where over 11lakh aspirants took the test, experts claim there are at least four questions which have problems. One question came with two correct options, while another came with all four wrong multiple choice answers, this is not the first time as NEET 2016 too had errors in the question paper.In fact the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2015 conducted by CBSE had similar errors while the JEE (advanced) of 2016 had four errors of 12 marks.
