The answer papers of MG University degree examination was found on the roadside in Aluva recently. SSLC question paper was also found in the similar way and there is no surprise in this. Examinations are being handled carelessly and this is an example for it. Many officers are appointed yearly for this and they are given special allowances for it. There are many people to supervise these as well. SSLC question papers had leaked a few years ago sparking a huge controversy. Kerala Kaumudi had revealed the news that time. The government had taken a lot of measures to avoid such an incident following this. However, such incidents happen often because of careless officers.

Everyone is going through a period of anxiety during SSLC exam time. They pray for an exam season without any major issues. Many concerns regarding the question paper leak were solved since the question paper will be provided through an online facility. However, there are many other issues regarding question paper handling and exam conducting. Natives in Perambra had received the Malayalam, Sanskrit and Arabic answer papers from the roadside. The answer papers belonged to students of Kayanna government school in Kozhikode. They were leaked while an officer was bringing them to post office on a bike, The officer was handling the papers carelessly and was not doing the job with responsibility. The answer papers of 55 students got leaked on the roadside and the officer was not aware of this. Natives handed over the papers to the school immediately. Therefore, no serious problem occurred. What if some antisocials got those papers? The news spread like wildfire and many educational officers reached there and took necessary steps to send the answer papers to Thiruvananthapuram. However, proper punishment should be given.

Officers are not giving proper care to exams and conducting the examination. That is why such incidents keep repeating. MG University BA examination answer papers got leaked from a lady teacher. They were collected by some auto drivers. University suspended those officers who were responsible for the incident. However, they are not ready to change the valuation system, where teachers can correct the answer papers from their homes.

Such lapses affect students and teachers negatively. Students attend these exams after year-long preparation. Exams should be conducted in a proper manner and such incidents should not be repeated. The education department itself does not have someone to handle the matters. Therefore, exams will have such a fate, and we should not be shocked by this.
