| | Imposters in exam centres | | Lack of supervisory by the concerned authorities is leading unfair means | | | Increased incidence of imposters taking annual and other entrance examinations on behalf of other candidates in various parts of Jammu and Kashmir speaks of the degeneration in the education sector. It also exposes the tall claims of the state government on achievements in this sector by way of opening of schools and colleges besides improving teaching of classes. This phenomenon has caught up during the past few years when first few cases of impersonation were detected by the authorities in the entrance examinations. Now this is also happening in the regular annual and bi-annual examinations. The candidates pay money to the meritorious students for clearing the tests so that they can go through the regular examinations or the entranced tests for professional courses. Even now-a-days the number of impersonators caught in the process is very insignificant. It also exposes the complicity of invigilators in the cases of impersonations and majority of the candidates go through the process easily without any detection. Now the focus is more on rural and remote areas where the examination centres are not regularly checked by the concerned authorities for the reasons best known to the government. It appears that supervisory of the centres is ignored for various reasons as a result of which impersonating cases are high and go undetected by the authorities. Such incidence can be brought down by two major thrusts by the education department. Firstly, the concerned authorities have to improve the standard of education imparted to the students in the schools and colleges so that the students aspiring to go to professional colleges do not have to resort to unfair means. Secondly, the state government has to create a deterrent for such activities so that these unfair practices are curbed to a greater extent. Besides these measures, the authorities also have to ensure that complicity of the teachers and invigilators is check in the rural and far flung areas where standard of teaching has drastically declined in the absence of sufficient teachers in the institutions. The state government cannot just wash its hands off from this process by blaming the students. |
