Students trying to lure evaluators by money

KANPUR: The ongoing evaluation of board copies of class X and XII is leaving examiners surprised as the students have made their best attempt to influence them in getting good marks.Though influences of any kind do not work but students from their side have either pasted a Rs 50 or Rs 100 note or else written a note appealing the examiner to give them good marks.Some students have cited family problems for not being able to study well, others have written aspiring proverbs. Some of them have written names of Gods and Goddess and appealed examiner to give them pass marks. The examiners are daily coming across such examples everyday. Ignoring such gimmicks such by the students, the teachers are paying attention towards checking the answer booklets as the number of answer sheets are more and the evaluators are less.At present the answer booklets of class X and XII are going on at Gurunanak Inter college, GIC, Chunniganj and Hajinder Nagar Inter College.
The examiners evaluate copies from 9 am to 6 pm.Expressing distress over such cases, an examiner at Gurunanak Inter college said, “The students who use such tactics are misguided that by putting bribes of Rs 100 or Rs 200, or by mentioning family problems, they would be able to secure good marks. We will not get carried away while checking the answer booklets and therefore, students would get marks, which they deserve."Almost similar were the views of another examiner who said that students do not study well initially and later, they use such measures to bait us. When asked what they do with the money that comes pasted inside the answer booklets, the two examiners declined to comment. But the fact being that the petty amount is being spent on arranging for tea and snacks.One of the examiners sharing his experience about such incidences said, “The students who pass board classes often inspire their juniors to paste currency notes or to write notes stating that my mother died or father is ill to gain sympathy and to bait teachers. But this is a sort of misguidance and the students who do so end up failing in the exam.”
