Cheating Scandal Hits Teacher Recruitment Exam in Jharkhand
Listen to the story
There is a big cheating problem in a teacher exam in India. The exam is called PGT. It is for new teachers. A man named Abhay Tiwari has told police the truth. He said he hacked the exam papers. He also helped people solve the papers before the test. This is not fair to other students.
Police went to the JSSC office in Ranchi. JSSC is a group that makes exams for jobs. This is called a raid. Police asked many questions to the JSSC secretary. A secretary is an important office worker.
Police also caught a helper of Ajita Bhattacharya. She used to work for JPSC, another exam group. Her helper is called a PA, or personal assistant.
Another man, Mithilesh Singh, is also part of this problem. He got exam copies directly. A copy is the answer sheet of a student. This shows the cheating problem is very big. It connects two states: Jharkhand and Bihar.
