Medical student barred from giving exams

Lucknow, August 6: A FIRST-YEAR student of Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU), caught cheating during an examination, was declared failed in the subject. He has also been barred from appearing in any internal examination for the next six months. The student was caught by the internal squad on Sunday during a bio-chemistry examination. It was the last examination for the 2006 batch. Chits and other incriminating material were seized from the student. Officials suspect that the student may have been cheating in other examinations as well. CSMMU officials said the idea behind the punishment was to set an example for other students. “The message is clear that none will be spared if caught using unfair means during any university examination. The students should also realise that there is strict punishment waiting for them, in case they are caught cheating,” said V K Singh, proctor of the university. Meanwhile, rumours of ragging spread across campus today. However, the administration said there had been no instance of ragging in the campus. Merely, a few seniors were found talking to juniors in a rude manner for which they had been warned of punitive action.
