Bihar: Not allowed to cheat in exams, students go on rampage

Hundreds of law students in Bihar went on the rampage on Saturday
after being denied the use of unfair means in their law examination.

Angry students, appearing for LLB part III, went on the rampage in
Patna, Gaya and Sasaram districts, when they were not allowed to use
unfair means in the examination.

Official sources in the Education Department confirmed that students
in the exam centre at Jagjivan Ram College in Gaya, TPS College in
Patna and Sher Shah College in Sasaram, district headquarters of
Rohtas district, went on the rampage and boycotted the examination.

"After authorities deployed at the examination center, including
police officials, did not allow the students to carry books, copies
and mobile phones inside the exam hall, the students turned violent,
shouted slogans and boycotted the exam," a senior official of the
Education Department said on Saturday.


"It was a firm decision of the state government not to allow unfair
means in examinations" said Bihar Education Minister Brishen Patel.

In Sasaram, for the second consecutive day, students boycotted the law
exam. Some of the students fired in the air to create panic among the
college staff.

Later, they set the office and other classrooms in the college on
fire, damaged furniture and threatened the college staff of dire
consequence. Sources said that out of 344 students, only one girl
appeared in the examination on Saturday.

In Gaya, students demanded the right to use unfair means in the
examination on Saturday but were not allowed to do so by the local
administration.

"It led to a heated exchange between the students and administration
officials. Later, the students went on a rampage and damaged college
property," college sources said.In all three colleges, students
expected to be allowed to use unfair means as they had not attended a
single class and the syllabus had not been completed in time. "How can
we give the exams without using unfair means," was their angry query.

In Bihar, the use of unfair means in examinations is a rampant
practice. Not only students, parents also demand the right to use such
means during examinations.
