Meanwhile, the BIEK Chairman had claimed that they would stop cheating in exams while stressing that it is not the media’s job to curb the practice.
However, to date, the authorities seem helpless in prohibiting the ongoing activity. In the letter, the controller examinations has told the DG Rangers that he is being pressurized to sell the exam centers and allow cheating.
He further told that he is being asked to leak the papers before they reach the examination hall and allow tampering in the exam marks.
