Bihar State Board to digitize examination system

In the wake of the controversial toppers scam in the state, the Bihar School Examination Board has decided to digitize the examination correction format. Under the scheme, set to be rolled out in Nov'16, examiners would be required to correct scanned copies of the answer sheets instead of physical ones. The board will float tenders to hire an agency to set-up the system.

Information
What is the toppers scam all about?

Bihar's topper scam came into light when the state's Class 12 toppers, had failed to answer questions thrown their way on basic topics in their subjects. It soon forced the Bihar government to probe further and investigate the irregularities in the board exams held.

Last year, reports showed outsiders passing on chits to the students by climbing up walls to reach the classes where the students were seated. The government then introduced CCTV cameras and policemen for monitoring.
