BANGALORE: Ruling out the possibility of a re-examination of the Karnataka Teachers Eligibility Test (KARTET) following reports of leakage of question papers on Sunday, Primary Education Minister Kimmane Rathnakar said the government received no complaints over the issue.
Replying to BJP member A Narayanaswamy in the Council during zero hour on Monday, the minister informed the House that the alleged leakage of KARTET question paper was only reported in the media. He said 3,73,000 candidates had appeared for the exam.
Stating that the state police arrested 13 people allegedly involved in the paper leakage, he said according to the initial report, no one from the department was involved in the incident.
Maintaining that the matter is under investigation, Rathnakar said: “Thanks to strict vigilance maintained by the department officials, no incidents of paper leakage was reported during the SSLC and PU examinations for 2013-14.”
Earlier, raising the issue, BJP member A Narayanaswamy charged that the incident of paper leakage occurred with the knowledge of the department officials.
Claiming that a bundle of question paper deposited safely in a government treasury was missing and papers were circulated for a price, the BJP member sought to know from the government if it has any plans to order a re-examination.
Reacting to another issue, the minister informed BJP member Ganesh Karnik that the distribution of PUC textbooks would be completed in a week’s time. Claiming that the delay in distribution of books was caused as the issue of awarding tender to print textbooks to a private party had gone to High Court, he said: “Steps will be taken to avoid such troubles in the future.”
The BJP member, raising the issue, had claimed that the PUC students across the state are in trouble due to the delay in the distribution of textbooks before the commencement of classes..
