TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Ahmedabad : The Gujarat Technological University (GTU) on Friday announced punishment for 142 students caught cheating in this year’s diploma, engineering, and pharmacy summer exams. These students will be called to appear before the university on Sep 13 for a hearing, after which the final penalties will be imposed. Sources said that a third semester diploma engineering student threatened the examiner in the answer sheet and wrote abuses, asking the examiner to pass him. This threat was taken seriously, and strict punishment has been decided for the student. The proposed penalties for the 142 students range from level 1 to level 7, with level 7 being the most severe.
The university has punished 52 students with level 1 punishment, 23 students face level 2, 60 students face level 3, one student faces level 4, and six students face level 7 punishment. Level 7 punishment includes cancelling the student’s thesis or project work and imposing a threeyear ban from taking exams. After appearing before the ethics committee, the final penalties will be announced, and students will be informed about the level of punishment they are receiving. Depending on the students’ versions, if the committee feels the student is being wrongly punished, the penalties may be reduced.
