Within a few minutes into commencement of the morning session test, the student was found browsing on the mobile phone trying to seek answers for the questions displayed on the computer-screen. An invigilator caught the student and a malpractice case was booked.
“After the student was caught red-handed, he made a fuss in the hall saying that his parents would kill him for his act. We called his parents and counselled the student. Police have been informed about the matter and the student was sent back after the conclusion of the test,” an official said.
