The HRD Ministry has set up a 'high-powered committee' to examine the process by which the CBSE conducts examinations, following the alleged leak of the Std X mathematics and the Std XII economics papers.
The seven-member panel, headed by former HRD secretary Vinay Sheel Oberoi, will also suggest measures to make the process "secure and foolproof through the use of technology" and submit a report by May 31 to the ministry.
The committee's other members include former CBSE Controller of Examination and Secretary, Uttar Pradesh Examination Board, Pavnesh Kumar and India representative on the executive board of the UNESCO, former NCERT Director and NCTE chairman J S Rajput. Former vice-chancellor, SNDT Women's University, Vasudha Kamat, and former Director of Education Krishna Mohan Tripathy are among the other members.
"The government has constituted a high-powered committee, comprising experts, under chairmanship of V S Oberoi, ex-Secretary, MHRD, to examine the process of conduct of CBSE exams and suggest measures to make it secure and foolproof through the use of technology," the HRD's School Education Secretary, Anil Swarup, said.
