Keep gods off answer papers, K’taka varsity tells examinees

Bengaluru 05.10.2018

: Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Karnataka has not taken kindly to students making pleas to gods on answer sheets.

With quite a few examinees writing ‘Om’, a sacred symbol in Hinduism, or the names of gods before attempting to answer questions, the university, in a circular to all affiliated colleges, has called it an examination malpractice.

The first among the eight ‘Don’ts’ mentioned in the October 1 circular issued by registrar (Evaluation) M K Ramesh, is the direction on the mention of the names of gods.

In addition to this, writing one’s name, PTO at the end of a page, irrelevant messages, numbers or sentences, signs, symbols, letter or word and tampering with answer books would also be construed as revealing the identity of the examinee and will be treated as a malpractice, it says.

Sandhya Avadhani, deputy director (pre-exam), at the university said some students try to reveal their identity to the evaluators. PTI
