Hi-Tech Cheating in Medical Entrance and other Exams MIL, Mar 31, 2006. R.B. New Delhi- A section of people think that the thread of cheating in medical exams through high tech has come from the film titled 'Munnabhai MBBS', where Sanjay Dutt obliged a top-notch doctor to write the medical entrance exam for him. But this does not seem to be correct. It looks that the idea of cheating given by script writer of Munnabhai MMB is the offshoot of actual cheating practice going on globally, whether it is US, UK, China, South Korea or any other advanced country where the super hi-tech facilities are available or could be smuggled. The hi-tech cheating is a well organized all over the world. The cheat doctors scan the entire question paper through DocuPens. It is a pen-sized scanner, the rate of which ranges from 100$ to 500 $ depending on different countries and the quality of Docu-pens. Most doctors do not hesitate to cheat the Universities or boards irrespective of their countries and nationalities they belong. As per CBI revelation, such doctors scan the entire question paper through the DocuPens. As per CBI, the doctors who have been cheating in the process of All-India PostGraduate Medical Entrance Examination conducted by All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) used a high tech method of just 4 seconds and it is easy to operate manually without attaching with a computer. It is such a small device that no one can cast any doubt, it is just a pen, which anyone may carry anywhere. The pen is so powerful that it can scan a full page just in 4 seconds and it has the capacity to store 100 pages at a time. In India, CBI has so far interrogated about 30 doctors, who are alleged to have cheated the University/Board by high tech device. The gadget in question is DocuPen, a small in size but extraordinary powerful known as pen-size scanner, which is used to leak the question papers. After cheating, these doctors then transfer the scanned data to the concerned mobile phones using Bluetooth technology, and thus manage to send out the paper to their 'contacts' through multimedia messaging. An official from the CBI in the name of anonymity said, there is a regular ring of doctors who are playing a very big game playing with the health and trust of the people. There are many more in the CBI net, only awaiting some clues to interrogate them but he said, we cannot rule out the political pressure in certain cases. As per Vishwa Mohan, whose story appeared in Times of India on Friday, states that the contacts, sitting in Pondicherry and Madurai, immediately solved the questions and sent the answers to candidates taking the exam at the Chennai and Delhi centres through SMS. Mobile phones were not allowed in the exam hall, but the accused managed to bring them in. Interestingly, the phones also remained unnoticed throughout the examination. But according to our sources, the students need not carry mobiles with them, the arrangement is organized much in advance by at least two days and even otherwise the paper leaking squad sends the questions well in advance so as to enable the cheat doctors to prepare answers and send it to the right mobile numbers. This arrangement is done before the students go for the exam. Some mobile numbers have given a clue to CBI. As a result, the CBI were able to arrest four student doctors, who were engaged in such hi-tech cheating. The CBI sources, in anonymity further say that they arrested four masterminded doctors from their residences, two of them P Satish Kumar and Vijay Kannan are still doing their post-graduation from Madurai Medical College and JIPMER, Pondicherry respectively while the other two Ravi Kannan and N Bhasker have already completed their post-graduation from JIPMER. Whatsoever may be the claim of the CBI, they are still far from the major organized gang and the doctors who prepare the answers are not yet within their notice or calculation. They send the information not from their mobile but do it using someone else. The big fish are such doctors who prepare the answers. This cheating is not only in India but it is also smelt to be operating in US, UK, France, China, South Korea and even in Germany.
