The Chronicle: College Students in India Angered by Reports of Test-Grading Scam

Many university students in northern India have been angered by police reports that examinations were being graded by unqualified evaluators, some of whom were reportedly as young as 16.

Police officials in the city of Agra said that officers acting on a tip had raided a house on August 12 and found unqualified evaluators grading college exam papers. The officials said that during the raid, officers found 60,000 answer papers of students from Chaudhary Charan Singh University, which has over 100 affiliated colleges and is located in Meerut, about 124 miles north of Agra, in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
