High Court asks CBSE to inquire into leak of Class 12th Physics paper

The Delhi High Court today asked the CBSE to inquire into the alleged leak of Class 12th Physics question paper in Manipur after a petition sought that the examination be held again across the country and not just the state.
A bench headed by acting Chief Justice B D Ahmed also asked the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to inquire as to how many hits have been received by the web sites where the question paper was allegedly available.
“Find out from your (CBSE) regional office as to how the question paper got leaked,” the bench said while posting the matter for further hearing on March 27.
“Have you (CBSE) conducted an inquiry as to how many hits the web sites received after leaked question paper was posted on them?,” the bench asked.
The bench was hearing a petition filed by advocate Rajiv Ranjan Dwivedi in which he alleged that the Physics question paper of the class 12th examination was leaked and circulated on web sites and it was also sold in the market in Manipur.
The petitioner also sought a direction to the CBSE and the Human Resources and Development (HRD) Ministry to conduct re-examination of Physics paper on the ground that “question paper was leaked, downloaded on internet, sold in the market“.
Dwivedi also alleged that despite admitting that the question paper was leaked, CBSE “is conducting the re-examination of Physics paper in Manipur only which is wholly unconstitutional and violative of equality before Law.”
During the hearing on the PIL, the bench observed that the CBSE should have anticipated that once leaked on web sites, the question paper would have “spread like a wildfire“.
“You (CBSE) should have inquired all angles pertaining to the leak....You should have anticipated that leaked question paper through web sites spreads like wildfire,” it said.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
