As many as 200 students from the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) will have to pay a hefty price for ignoring the rules and writing the names of gods and mantras on their answer scripts. The university has withheld their scores and will release the results only after the students pay the fine.
Prior to the exams held in October, the RGUHS had issued a circular warning students not to jot down signs, symbols, names of gods, mantras, etc. on their answer scripts. At the time, the authorities had said the new rules were necessary as there were cases where words like ‘Om’ and names of gods had been written in pre-assigned spots to help the evaluator identify the student whose answer script was to be evaluated.
Despite this, around 200 medical and allied health sciences students, who wrote the examinations in October flouted the rules. “The list of these students was submitted to the malpractice committee which met last week. It has been decided that their results will be announced after collecting a fine ranging between Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 5,000,” said M.K. Ramesh, Registrar (Evaluation) of the university.
The rules also prohibited students from writing the register number, their name, the letters ‘P.T.O.’ at the end of the pages, other irrelevant messages, any word, number, or sentence that was extraneous to the questions asked. Students were also prohibited from answering questions out of context and tampering with their booklets.
“Not all students wrote this to commit malpractice. Some students did it out of sheer carelessness. So we decided that we should fine them so that they do not have to write the same paper again,” said a professor.
