Unfair Means or corruption in examination
The
use of unfair means in examinations has been on the increase though the government
has taken some positive steps, especially in the cities, to check corruption.
We have more cases of unfair means each passing year in our Board and
University examinations. The reasons for corruption in examinations are many.
First of all, we find corruption in all parts of our society. Dishonesty and
cheating are as common today as honesty was in olden times. Some people rightly
say that we should bring all corruption in society to an end. Only then can
corruption in examinations be got rid of. However, there will have to be a
revolution, a complete change in our thinking and action, to bring all this
about. Secondly, most of our students cannot buy suitable books or study in
first-rate educational institutions. Their economic condition does not allow
them to progress properly in studies. They cannot make adequate (enough) preparations
for their examinations. Quite a few of them, then, try to make use of unfair
means. Thirdly, those who hold or conduct examinations are also responsible for
corruption in examination centres invigilators, superintendents, and others
working for as long as eight hours a day cannot earn what an expert mechanic
gets for an hour of work. Able teachers and government officers at first do not
like to perform the examination work. Some of them, who so come forward, begin
accepting bribes from candidates to make quick money. The ladder of corruption
in examination is very high. It very strangely goes underground, too, when
answer books are smuggled out of examination centres and offices for candidates
to write answer. Some corrupt examiners provide such facilities of copying or
accept bribes to award undeserved marks or are influenced by recommendations.
At time, copying through mobile phones is facilitated. It is at least necessary
to provide high quality education to our students. There should be able and
efficient teachers and proper and enough libraries for them. Special libraries
and teaching and training centres should be provided to private candidates who
cannot attend regular educational institutions. Those who can afford should not
provide luxuries like internet pleasurable programmes, CD and DVD players, and
expensive vehicles to children. TV viewing should specially be restricted. If
our students become really able and wise, corruption in examinations will
largely end. The need of the hour is action in the right direction.
