Amidst leak of the JSSC CGL exam papers, the Jharkhand Academic Council is going to take matriculation and intermediate exams and the word of caution is 'no leakage at all.'

Both the exams are to take off simultaneously on / from February 6 to 26.

The district administration has set up 71 centres of the matriculation that is class 10 exams. 

There will be 37 centres of the intermediate exams in Palamu. 

A total of 62,909 examinees are expected to take the examinations whose breakup is 33,153 students for the matriculation exams and 29,756 students for the intermediate exams. 

Sources reminded that impersonation of the examinees is a chronic problem here although in a miniscule measure. 

Impersonation by male is done more than by the girls. Fake medical certificates are produced by the examinees to have an isolated seat away from the glare of the invigilators. 

Undertrial prisoners may appear at any of the two exams who come under security cover. 

About 9 or 10 years ago an ugly situation had cropped up when a girl wearing Hijab (a robe on face) was put to harassment all in the name of frisking by a lady teacher here. 

There are xerox shops almost near or some far away from the examination centres rural or urban and here unfair means does brisk business. 

There are some touts who fake 'question out' environs just to make fast bucks. 

Sources said the DC Palamu Shashi Ranjan today held an interactive session with the education officials and centre superintendents ahead of the exams. Eom
