Two Cases of Alleged Irregularities Reported During APPSCCE Preliminary Exam in Naharlagun

The Naharlagun police have registered two separate cases involving alleged irregularities during the preliminary Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Combined Competitive Examination (APPSCCE), which was conducted on Sunday. Both incidents have raised concerns over examination protocols and security measures.

In the first incident, a PwD candidate, Mudang Yabyang, was found in possession of a mobile phone inside the examination hall at Kendriya Vidyalaya, C Sector. Authorities promptly seized the phone, recorded Yabyang’s statement, and instructed her to cooperate with the ongoing investigation before allowing her to leave. Yabyang has since clarified that she inadvertently brought the phone into the examination hall and handed it over to the invigilator before the exam commenced. She expressed distress over her name being disclosed publicly before the investigation’s conclusion, asserting that she did not use the phone for any malpractice.

The second case involves an FIR filed against another candidate, Binam Teng, after his OMR sheet was discovered missing from the examination center at the government higher secondary school, G-Sector, Naharlagun. Following a swift probe, the missing OMR sheet was recovered from Teng’s possession.

Both cases are currently under active investigation, and authorities are examining the circumstances surrounding the incidents to determine if any rules were violated. These developments have sparked discussions about the need for stricter enforcement of examination guidelines to ensure fairness and integrity in competitive exams.
