Abstract

This article reports that many university students in northern India have been angered by police reports that examinations were being graded by unqualified evaluators, some of whom were reportedly as young as 16. Police officials in the city of Agra said that officers acting on a tip had raided a house in August 2006 and found unqualified evaluators grading college exam papers. The officials said that during the raid, officers found 60,000 tests of students from Chaudhary Charan Singh University. The police said the university's registrar, B.L. Arya, had sent 80,000 tests to his son, R.P. Singh, in Agra, and told him to have them evaluated.
