CBI is conducting investigation in the alleged malpractice
in the CEE-2005 for admission into colleges like Delhi College
of Engineering (DCE) after registering a regular case against
21 candidates, some unknown officials of the Delhi University
and unknown private persons under different sections of IPC
and the PC Act, 1988. The case has been registered on the
basis of a complaint from the Registrar of the Delhi University
and subsequent Inquiry by the investigating agency. In its
complaint, the University had alleged that in the CEE-2005,
there were 5, 3, 2 and 11 candidates at the ranks 13, 25,
36 and 56 respectively who have obtained exactly the same
marks in Physics, Chemistry and Maths. which raised doubts
about the skills of these candidates. The scrutiny of the
same revealed that most of the question booklets contained
the key of the question paper written on the booklet itself
either at the place specified for the rough work or somewhere
in between the pages. The answer key was written mostly in
pencil and some candidates had also tried to rub these answers.
During the course of the investigation, several persons including
the candidates were questioned and it was found that these
candidates used unfair means to get through the competitive
examination with the help of one former student of DCE. These
candidates were contacted by the former student and offered
a seat in DCE in lieu of Rs. four lakh per candidate. The
candidates were taken to a house near Rohini, Delhi and they
were briefed about the modus operandi for clearing this examination.
These candidates were given a Hutch SIM
and were directed to activate it before the examination. They
were further asked to destroy this SIM as soon as the examination
was over. They were also asked to provide their Roll Numbers
and Examination Centre in advance to the former student so
that the booklet series of the question paper could be ascertained
in
advance. He explained that an SMS containing the answer key
of the question booklet would be sent to the candidates after
about one hour of the examination. The former student provided
two mobile numbers to the candidates and asked them to call
these numbers in case needed. He also provided two more numbers
on which SMS to be made in case the series of the question
booklet was different from the answer key sent through SMS.
The candidates put the SIMs provided in their mobiles and
took the mobiles into the examination hall. The former student
sent the answer key of all the questions through SMS after
about an hour. The candidates copied this answer key on their
question booklets after copying the same from their mobile
and then marked the answer in the answer sheet. These candidates
destroyed the SIM as soon as the examination was over.
