Download EBookMUMBAI: Maharashtra minister Varsha Gaikwad on Wednesday said the state government will suspend the registration of schools if they are found to be involved in leaking question papers of Class 10 exams.
The school education minister was responding to a query by some members of the state legislative Council. “If a school is found involved in Class 10 exam paper leak, then it will lose its registration. If a school allows students to copy answers during examinations, the department will not grant an exam centre there next time,” Gaikwad said.

The minister also informed the House that a school in Ahmednagar, which had allowed students to copy answers, will lose its registration. An official order will be released soon. The school education department has already requested the home department to provide additional security, as every school now has an exam centre, the minister added.
"Yesterday On March 15, during the Class 10 Marathi subject examination, Laxmibai Secondary and Higher Secondary School, Nilajgaon, it was revealed as per preliminary inquiries into the irregularities that the headmaster, co-teachers, non-teaching staff were providing copies to the students," said Gaikwad in a tweet. She further said that the government has decided to de-recognize the school. "I would like to say here that if such malpractice is found in other schools, they will also be severely punished," she said.
