Calcutta University teachers alert VC about mass copying
The teachers association at Calcutta University has written to the vice-chancellor expressing "worries about many serious malpractices" in the conduct of the examinations of postgraduate courses at colleges. The letter alleged "mass copying" during exams in science subjects that students had written at their respective colleges (home centres). It said instances of mass copying came to their notice when the answer scripts were examined. "It was difficult to distinguish one answer script from another because the content was the same," a teacher told The Telegraph.
