Imphal, November 28 2012: Two questions which were asked in the just concluded Teacher's Eligibility Test (TET), 2012 wherein around 52,000 candidates appeared were found without any correct answer options.
The test was conducted by Board of Secondary Education, Manipur.
Addressing a press conference in this connection at its Keishampat office here today, Assistant Secretary General of DESAM Pukhrambam Premchandra pointed out that the answer options given for question number 67 and 74 asked in Section 3, Set A of Mathematics subject are incorrect.
DESAM has checked the answers of the two questions over and over again and found that none of the answer options given are correct.
So, the negligence of Board of Secondary Education Manipur in conducting such an important examination is indeed unfortunate for the student community.
Informing that more information on finding out of more wrong questions are receiving and DESAM would be looking into them, Premchandra urged the Government to set up an expert committee at the earliest to investigate into the matter and bar all the question setters involved in the slackness from further setting of questions for any competitive exam in future.
If all the mistakes pin-pointed out by DESAM are found to be correct by the investigating Committee, then candidates appearing in the test should be given grace mark of two points, he demanded.
TET was conducted on Tuesday in two papers.
Paper-I was for recruiting Lower Primary teachers and paper-II for Upper Primary teachers.
Both the papers carry 150 marks each.
The two papers included questions from Mathematics, General English, Environmental Studies, Language, Child Development and Pedagogy.
