Jharkhand: Students Caught Cheating With Mobiles At BSS Women's College In Dhanbad; AISA Lodges Complaint

A video showing students of BSS Women's College using mobile phones to write their exam papers has gone viral. The video was recorded and circulated by a student from the college itself. In the footage, students can clearly be seen looking at their mobile phones while writing their answers.

AISA Raises The Issue

The matter came to light when members of the All India Students Association (AISA) were conducting a membership drive on the college campus. During the drive, several students complained to them about the cheating. Members of the AISA district committee stated that they raised the issue with the principal and other teachers. However, the principal dismissed the allegations of students using mobiles to cheat as false.

Students Allege Pressure From Teachers

Students associated with AISA alleged that following the complaint, some teachers at the college pressured them. To substantiate their claims, they recorded the video as evidence. Later, they met Dr. Pushpa Kumari, the Dean of Students' Welfare (DSW) at Binod Bihari Mahto Koyalanchal University (BBMKU), to lodge a formal complaint. The student leaders warned that if the situation does not improve soon, they will be forced to launch a street protest against BSS College.
