GUWAHATI, Feb 14 - The Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) has categorically refuted any allegation of question paper leak in the HSLC examination that started today.
Amid the allegations of leakage of the English question paper from the Jajari examination centre in Nagaon district, SEBA officials said that an inquiry would be conducted to find out the person who spread the hoax.
�As per rules, a student appearing in the exam centre can come out one hour after the commencement of the exam, without the question paper. On the other hand, students who come out after two hours of the beginning of examination can carry the question paper with them,� SEBA Controller of Examination Nayanjyoti Sarma told The Assam Tribune.
�We can term it as leakage if the question papers are circulated before the exams. As per our information, the question papers came out after 11 am. However, our cyber intelligence team is at work and the accurate timing, place and mobile number would be located soon,� he added.
Following information about the leak police officials rushed to the spot and during investigation a WhatsApp message was traced, but its origin is being ascertained.
Altogether 342,702 students are appearing for the HSLC examination this year, while 9,441 candidates are appearing in the Assam High Madrassa (AHM) examination.
