High-tech cheating in admission tests

11 students arrested in Tangail, devices seized

Our Correspondent, Tangail
Police arrested eleven students of different colleges and universities on charge of high-tech cheating in the admission tests of Maulana Bhasani Science and Technology University (MBSTU) here on Saturday.
The arrestees, including seven admission seekers and four of their 'helpers', were produced before a Tangail court yesterday afternoon, said Colam Mahfizur Rahman, officer in charge ofDB inTangail district.
Earlier on Saturday night, Shahadat Hossain, registrar of MBSTU, filed a case with Tangail Model Police Station under Section 9(B)/13 of Public Examination Act of 1980, he said.
The admission tests of 'A' and 'B' units for 2014-15 session of the university were held on Saturday and in addition to the university buildings, different educational institutions in Tangail town were used for the purpose to accommodate a large number of candidates, officials said.
Sensing audio messages (sound of telling answers to the questions) dur-
ing the examination, the invigilators caught an examinee at Santosh High School centre and seized a wireless micro electronic device set on his ear, they added.
The examinee was handed over to the law enforcers, and a team of Detective Branch (DB) of police held six more examinees from different centres due to the same allegations, police said.
Following clues from the arrestees, the law enforcers raided a students' mess in Kumudini College area in the town and held four students including one of Dhaka University from there, said Golam Mahfizur Rahman, officer in charge of DB inTangail district.
They also recovered laptops, mobile sets, mobile receivers, mobile SIM cards, wireless devices, micro chips and special T-shirts set with electronic devices from the possession of the 11 arrestees, he said.
“The top buttons of the T-shirts were set with China-made cameras that sent the picture of the question paper to the outside 'helpers' who delivered the answers on the micro
device put on the ear of the examinees. The ring managed the matter from a spot. Earlier, similar thing happened in Dhaka University admission tests," said Khademul Islam, proctor of MBSTU.
During interrogation, the 'helpers' admitted to the law enforcers that they were solving the answer scripts for the admission tests for the MBSTU in exchange of Tk 2 lakh from each of the selected examinees, said DB OC Mahfizur Rahman.
It appears that they are members of an organised ring that realise huge amount of money from the admission seekers in the universities upon assurance of sending answers to the admission test questions from outside, he said.
No such cheating was detected in yesterday's admission tests under C and 'D' units as the candidates were allowed to enter the examination halls after checking, MBSTU sources said.
As many as 50,457 students applied for admission to the university for 2014-15 academic year while there are 772 seats in its 15 departments under four faculties, they added.
