they had requested police protection and registered an FIR with the local police.

In a damage control mode and to save face, CBSE authorities had taken several stringent measures to avoid malpractices during the entrance test. This was a re-test. First test was carried

out on May 3, 2015. However, there were reports of rampant malpractice in northern states. Authorities had demanded for re-test to give justice to the honest students.

Local schools said that they had taken measures like individual screening of the students by hand held metal detector (HHMD) and mobile jammers in school premises. And deadline of last entry

at 9.30 am was strictly followed.

Arvind Kumar Singh, father of Surbhi Singh who was denied entry at Kendriya Vidyalaya No.1 in Colaba, said, “We had reached the school gate at 9.25 am but gates were closed. The watchman

said that he will inquire with principal and went inside the school building. He came back at 9.35am and said that time was over and candidates were not allowed to enter.” He added, “I was

on time. Due to miscommunication of the school and watchman my child is deprived of her prospective career.”

Sachin Tupe, a candidate of the same school, alleged that gates of the school were closed before 9.30 am. He said, “Security was scanning every student with metal detector. It took long time

for them to screen scores of students. At 9.25 am they closed the gates. Total 30 students are denied entry.”

Another student Kajal Tawade who broke down after being denied the entry said, “I have studied for the whole year. At the time of exam, they did not give us entry saying I was late by

three-four minutes.”

Bharat Malik, trustee of Arya Gurukul School, said, “On the direction of CBSE, we had closed the gates at 9.30 am. Entry time was from 7.30 am to 9.30 am. Odd 7-8 students were late. We

instructed them that they were late and cannot enter. Still they tried to barge in the centre and their parents created a ruckus. They broke glasses of the security cabin. An FIR was

registered for damaging the school property.”
