NASHIK: The Nashik-headquartered Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) has detected alleged malpractices by 1,857 examinees during the online semester examination for undergraduate and PG courses held in February this year. Roughly 73,000 students had appeared for the exam.
The varsity has instructed the erring examinees to reappear for the exam during the next online semester exam slated in June this year. University registrar Dinesh Bhonde and controller of examinations B P Patil told TOI that the use of sophisticated software to monitor online exams allowed the YCMOU to detect the alleged malpractices. Of the 1,857 examinees, over 960 would have to reappear for all the five papers and over 800 must write the exam for one paper.
