Bric-a-brac
gains & pains
question papers no exception
Napoleon Bonaparte said that history is the version of past events that
people have decided to agree upon. In the recent Delhi University examination
for the BCom fifth semester, the question paper was found to be a replica of
that distributed in the varsity’s School of Open Learning annual exam. The
administration department claimed that the question papers had been set by a
board of three teachers from various colleges. Despite all such checks and
balances, this plagiarism has put the administration in an embarrassing
situation. Similar claims have unravelled in the past when reputed institutions
and universities have picked up a few questions from various sources to prepare
a bouquet of question papers. In the final examination of Direct Taxes
conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in November 2014,
in most of the question papers, old questions were presented with hardly any
alterations. A similar instance was noticed in the examination of IPCC tax
papers also in November and in earlier examinations conducted by the institute.
