Examination malpractices and irregularities seemed to be the main characteristics of the first semester examination going on at the Imo state Polytechnic, Umuagwo.
The examination which commenced on Monday at the campus has been rocked by unwholesome attitude perpetuated by some students especially the fresh ones. Campus Gist who was in the school to observe proceedings noticed that some of the students taking the examinations enter the exam halls with their textbooks and other forbidden items. Most of them are also “mercenaries”, taking exams for their friends or relatives. The worst is that some female folks bring in their boyfriends and male colleagues to write exams for them. The scenario is witnessing frighting dimension as the school management seemed unperturbed about the development.
Meanwhile the school authorities have declared that new students without registration numbers will no longer be allowed to write the ongoing examination. Most of the affected students were seen running from pillar to post to ensure that they get the regd No. The victims were directed to visit the ICT centres in school for verification.
