PUNE: The question papers for two exams on
Monday and Tuesday of the second year mechanical engineering course of the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) were
found circulating on the WhatsApp of students at an exam centre in Wagholi
almost 45 minutes before the exams could begin.
The paper was sent to all exam
centres in Pune, Nashik and Ahmednagar districts through e-mail at 10am, an
hour before the scheduled time. After receiving complaints from students as well as college authorities, SPPU officials tracked
down the locations from where the papers had gone viral to the Sangamner and
Akurdi exam centres. The officials managed to source the locations through the
centre codes, watermarks and server details of the papers.
After verifying server details, the officials filed a police
case against the students at the Wagholi centre. Savitribai Phule Pune University vice-chancellor Nitin
Karmalkar said, "While the police has seized the cellphones of the
students, the university's administration has sent showcause notices to the
exam centres from where the papers were downloaded on the phones and made
viral."
From Thursday, the university will e-mail the question papers
to exam centres only 20-25 minutes in advance. SPPU vice-chancellor Nitin
Karmalkar said, "We have instructed all officials to ask students to
settle in the exam hall one hour before their paper begins."
As a precautionary measure, the two centres from where the
question papers went viral would get their papers only 5-7 minutes before the
start of the exam."
