\"NEET<\/div>\n
As CBI<\/a> takes over NEET paper leak case<\/a> from the Economic Offence Unit of Bihar Police<\/a> and the Union education ministry constituting a committee to look into the loopholes in the system and suggest reforms to streamline the examination process, the probe by Bihar Police has thrown up some red flags which will form the crux of future probe and reforms in the case.<\/p>\n

Habitual Offenders<\/strong><\/p>\n

The names which have come up in the NEET paper leak<\/a> are not new. They have a history of paper leaks. Sanjeev Mukhiya, still absconding, has been in jail in the past on similar cases. His son, Dr Shiv Kumar, is in jail in relation to the paper leak<\/a> of the Bihar Public Service Commission Teachers Recruitment Examination. Others too have been in the business for long with inter-state networks, which gets activated when a big examination like NEET<\/a> is announced.Higher Reward<\/strong>
Sources told ET that in the early days, these criminals would charge between \u20b95 lakh and \u20b910 lakh for a clerical and teacher-level job and \u20b910-15 lakh for exams like NEET. In the current case, students were asked to pay \u20b930-\u20b940 lakh and more than 300 students were targeted. This takes the total money involved to around \u20b9100 crore. To get this money, they were willing to go to any extent to ‘fix’ the system.<\/p>\n

Operational Precision <\/strong>
With the advent of technology, the operation has become more precise. NEET papers were taken out after breaking the seal of an envelope that was going to an exam centre in Hazaribagh. It was restored and it looked as if it was never broken. Through sophisticated tools, it was almost impossible to believe that this envelope had been open in the past. The question paper was solved by some medical students from Ranchi and was initially circulated through Telegram and later Whatsapp in a PDF format.<\/p>\n

Loopholes <\/strong>
There are several layers — right from question paper preparation to transporting them to exam centres. A small compromise at the lowest level could make the perpetrators’ job easier. Sources told ET that through their links, the accused got the GPS location and other details of the vehicles transporting the papers. By offering money they can crack it at any level. In Panchmahal district, Gujarat, prime accused Tushar Bhatt, arrested by police, was the centre superintendent for NEET.Place Matters<\/strong>
In NEET cases, arrests were made in Godhra and Kheda in Gujarat, Latur in Maharashtra and Patna in Bihar. Sources told ET that the place of the examination centre plays a big role in ‘fixing’ the system. They usually choose a city which is away from the limelight and where there could be little doubt about any malpractice. Students from West Bengal appeared for NEET in Godhra in Gujarat. Similarly, admit cards of students of Bihar were recovered from the accused in Latur, Maharashtra. One student from Maharashtra appeared for NEET in Patna.<\/p>\n

Operational Delays <\/strong>
In the world of social media, news spreads faster than usual. Despite that, it is difficult for government to accept that there was a paper leak. Operational delays hamper probes in crucial early days. In the current case, Bihar Police sought information about exam centre with roll code and other information related to leaked paper. It took two weeks for NTA to provide the name of the centre in Hazaribagh from where the paper was leaked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
