SSC Notice Regarding Cheating Racket In Kota

To reduce the encumbrance faced by UPSC and in order to run the agency smoothly, SSC was formed in 1975 with current executive Ashim Khurana. SSC conducts prestigious exams in the country among which SSC CGL is a cynosure for lakhs of aspirants. To succor the SSC aspirants to the wider extent, SSC came with online examination facility for its various exams for the first time in 2016. The notion behind implementing this decision was to curb the cheating practices and make the whole process convenient for the aspirants.

Technology undoubtedly is a boon to us in various ways but it has been turned into a bane by the miscreants with an ill mentality. And the news of SSC Exam cheating racket that was being practiced in Kota is a perfect example of the same. The Police team raided the centre on Friday evening (16th March 2018) and arrested four people hailing from Haryana and UP, for allegedly helping students to cheat in Staff Selection Commission (SSC) online exam. The accused are IT experts and teach students for various staff commission exams in coaching centres. The rest investigation is to be made for the candidates at the exam centre who were in contact with the four accused candidates and were charged Rs.3 to 5 lakhs for providing the answers. 

Kota SP Anshuman Bhomia informed that the racket hacks the system through a software, then take screenshots of the paper using high-tech devices and circulate to other members of the racket in Mathura for answers. Online exams for SSC are being conducted in 92 cities across the country including Kota, and this kind of act by the accused people is a threat to the sanctity of the Commission and trust of the innocuous aspirants and is certainly worth of making a diatribe against such rackets.

The Commission is in constant touch with the Rajasthan Police with regard to reports of cheating at one venue each in Kota and Ajmer. The Commission would take appropriate action against any delinquent candidate if adversely reported upon by the Rajasthan Police.
