Bhubaneswar, Mar 15: The Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) on Tuesday decided to reschedule the +2 Chemistry examination on Mar 30 as question papers of the subject were ‘wrongly’ dispatched to several examination centres of the State instead of Mathematics, leading to confusion among the examinees. The examination was scheduled to be held on March 16.
Yesterday the +2 examinations was halted at the BJB College and at Gadarodanga near Bramhagiri in Puri as well as other parts of the state was halted as the wrong question papers were dispatched. Instead of Mathematics, the question papers of Chemistry were sent. On finding the wrong papers in the sealed packets, the college authorities went in a state of shock. CHSE examination controller Biranchi Narayan Mishra on the other hand said that such irregularities have been reported at six to seven colleges. The authorities were then asked to send back the question papers. Also, Mishra questioned the centre authorities for not intimidating him about the incident even though the sealed packets of the question papers were supposed to be open at 9.30 am. He further stated that the matter would be thoroughly reviewed and appropriate action would be taken. But the Gadrodag College, Puri centre superintendent Debasis Jena said that the examination was conducted peacefully and the Council will decide about the next course of action. The question papers were replaced by Mathematics but not before one and half hour of the commencement of the examination.
