Updated on: Tuesday, February 15, 2011

The chairperson of the Maharashtra State Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board, Ujjwala Patil, today said that the system enforced in Nanded called 'Nanded pattern' would now be implemented in the whole state to curb the menace of copying in exams.
The examinations of standard XII are scheduled to be held between February 22 and March 12 when the system would be enforced.

Talking to press persons during her visit to the district she said "We are going to implement the 'Nanded pattern' in the whole state during the examinations. Unless and until the mentality of the teachers and the students does not change, it is necessary to conduct examinations in tight vigilance', she said.

When asked about closing down or shifting of the sensitive centres, she said it is not possible for the board to shift or close such centres because it is not possible to adjust thousands of examinees to other centres. The teachers who would encourage copying in the examinations would be strictly dealt with, she said.

In Nanded the district administration including the police, the revenue and the education department jointly established several squads to curb the copy cats last year that came to be known as Nanded pattern.

It had led to the sharp fall in percentage of passing to only 25.27.
