'Won't Take Exam Again,' Say Students After Second Question Paper Leak

'Won't Take Exam Again,' Say Students After Second Question Paper Leak

Bangalore: A large number of Class 12 students in Bengaluru are on the streets protesting, shouting slogans and waving black banners instead of taking their chemistry exam - an exam that has been cancelled for the second time after the question paper was leaked.

"We are not ready to write this exam at any cost. Our exams are over...let them put whichever date... we are not ready to write it," said one of the students protesting outside the office of the Karnataka education department.

The chemistry exam had been scheduled for today after a student alerted education authorities that the question paper for the March 22 exam had been leaked.  After protests by students and parents, the government asked the Criminal Investigation Department or CID to inquire into the leak.

Around 3.30 am this morning, the CID told the Department of Pre-University Education that the question paper had been leaked again and students should be advised not to come to the exam centres.

The "leak" was detected in two places across the state, the investigation officers have reportedly told the government.

The CID reportedly sent education officials three question papers that were in circulation hours before the exam. One of them matched the question paper.

"This is not a game for them to set a date, give a paper and ask us to write?" questioned a student angrily.

Another said: "We have entrance exams to prepare for. We have to mentally prepare ourselves."
