ALL INDIA ENGINEERING ENTRANCE EXAMINATION PAPER LEAK


ALL INDIA ENGINEERING ENTRANCE EXAMINATION PAPER LEAK
     The alleged paper leak in Sunday's (1ST May,2011) All India Engineering Entrance Examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education resulted in a harrowing time for lakhs of students across the country, and thousands of candidates missing it altogether.
While the CBSE website states students who have missed the AIEEE will be allowed to appear for it on May 8, CBSE Chairman Vineet Joshi said: “Students have informed us that the Karnataka combined entrance examination and also a Banaras Hindu University exam are taking place on May 8, hence we may try to have the examination on May 10.” Mr. Joshi said: “According to preliminary reports, about 32,500 students of the 11.5 lakh scheduled to take the paper could not appear for it. We got a call from the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force regarding a leaked AIEEE paper which was faxed to us. This matched with the actual paper. This happened at about 8 a.m. on Sunday. We immediately made arrangements to send out a fresh set of papers to the various centres.”  Ref: The Hindu)
