The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) is all set to introduce new rules to tackle the issue of cheating in exams. From this year onwards, UPMSP plans to impose the National Security Act (NSA) 1980 on candidates who are caught cheating in the Board exams, according to media reports. Every year UPMSP introduces a new set of rules to tackle the menace of cheating during exams. Apart from students, strict action will also be taken against the administrator of the exam centre and the room invigilator by filing an FIR, reports further added.
Teachers or professors who will be caught indulging in any malpractice related to an exam will be penalised under the same act. In order to avoid incidents of cheating, all examination halls will be equipped with CCTV cameras to keep an eye on the students and their activities. The Uttar Pradesh government along with the state education department has made necessary arrangements for the students to avoid any kind of cheating.
