He said that it is not just the students who will be taken to task if found cheating but even the staff supervising the exam will have to face the consequences. Citing ‘Zero tolerance to cheating’ as their motto, Kalohia said that the PSEB was even conducting re-exams for the same. This re-examination is being held for those centres where the original exam was cancelled because of mass copying. Students who will be appearing for the re-exam, will also have to pay a fee of Rs. 100 per subject.
PSEB chairman Kalohia also added that sensitive areas which were prone to mass cheating had been thoroughly examined and detailed inquiries have been made for the same. He said that the Punjab Board was working on a proposition that would cancel the affiliation of the staff involved in mass cheating and as well as the centres who come under the scanner for this. He added that open school centres would be closely monitored.
