Uttar Pradesh University debars over 9,000 final year students for a year for mass copying

Prof Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) University (PRSU) has announced that it has debarred 9,849 final-year students from appearing in various undergraduate courses examinations for a year after they were allegedly found guilty of mass copying during the 2021-22 annual exams held in May-June this year. As per the University officials, the decision was taken during a meeting of the examination committee of PRSU.

While speaking on the same, PRSU vice chancellor Akhilesh Kumar Singh said "the university administration has found 201 final-year students of Bachelor of Commerce (BCom), 1,075 of Bachelor of Arts (BA) third year and 8,573 students of Bachelor of Science (BSc) final year guilty of mass copying in the 2021-22 annual examinations."

“All these students have been debarred from appearing in the examinations for one year,” Singh said, as reported by HT.

The action has been taken to ensure the ideal academic environment and conduct of examinations in a free and fair manner. “The action has been taken under the policy of zero tolerance towards copying,” the University official said. It must be noted that this is for the first time that PRSU has taken such action against the students for using unfair means in the examination. The university’s committee for unfair means considered cases of all those students suspected of copying and after seeking replies of the examiners, recommended action against them.

“The university’s examination committee then took the action,” said Avinash Kumar Srivastava, public relations officer, PRSU. He further added that the number of students debarred may increase in coming days.
