Again, mobile phone in examination centre. Higher secondary of a Kolkata school student cancelled. The incident took place on Tuesday at Binodini Girls High School in South Kolkata. The Higher Secondary Education Council has cancelled the exams of 6 candidates so far.

The accused student is a Path Bhavan student.

Her seat was at Binodini Girls High School in Kolkata. Today was her Higher Secondary Chemistry exam. It is learnt that the student entered the examination centre with a mobile phone in her shoe. The matter came to the attention of the teachers during the examination. Immediately, the matter came to light when the student’s shoes were removed and searched. They immediately informed the Higher Secondary Education Council. The examination was cancelled after that. Binodini Girls High School has informed that as per the rules of the Council, every candidate is checked with a metal detector while entering the examination hall. Even then, questions are being raised about how the student entered the examination hall with a mobile phone. It is worth noting that the Higher Secondary Council had earlier informed that no student is allowed to enter the examination hall with a mobile phone or other electronic gadgets. If anyone ignores this rule, his/her examination will be cancelled.

On the other hand, a ceiling fan fell during the examination and injured a candidate.
