A university in Bihar cancelled the BA Part II examination on Friday after mass cheating was witnessed in the state. The exams in the Veer Kunwar Singh University had commenced on Thursday at 41 centres in which around 87,000 candidates appeared.

Paramhans Tiwari, who is the Principal of Kunwar Singh college said that there were 4,400 students who took the exam but the college only has the capacity of 2,400 seats. Singh said when he found out students sitting on the floor giving the exam, he was told that as there was lack of space and candidates found room hot they were moved out of the class.
VKSU Vice-Chancellor Syed Mumtazuddin said, “We received information about use of unfair means, irregularities in examination besides proxy candidates appearing at the examination held on September 1. We have cancelled all examinations of the first sitting of Veer KunwarSingh College centre. The decision was taken by the exam board”.
