New Delhi: Sharply reacting to a news carried by a weblink that 7-8 questions out of the 90 questions of JEE 2018 paper were carried from a model paper of a coaching institution Narayana  Academy,the CBSE on April 11, 2018, stated that these questions or items did not exist in 2016.

Giving more details,  the CBSE has explained that the JEE question papers are prepared in original by over 100 item writers.  These item writers are subject experts.  They prepare over 1,500 items over a period of two months during the year of the exam.  All these questions are prepared by the item writers in original and are handwritten. After that 90 questions are drawn randomly and 8-9 sets are created.  Any one set is randomly picked for use in JEE, the CBSE said, according to a PIB release.

According to CBSE,  the said 7-8 questions were prepared in original by 7 different item writers and were handwritten. After this, the moderator made many handwritten changes too.  After that, the vetter also made handwritten changes.  The final handwritten version was ready only about 2-3 months back after which it was sent to the confidential printer.

The CBSE states that it is indeed very strange that handwritten changes in all these 7 questions that CBSE has record of, appear exactly in a website claiming to belong to a particular coaching institute and also claiming to be two years old. The press has also carried the statement of the said coaching institute on April  11 stating that the items have been doctored to spoil its image, said the CBSE.

The CBSE reiterated that all these 7-8 items/questions were originally written only about two to three months back and they can’t and could not have figured in any model paper by any coaching institutions two years back. There is an atmosphere of falsities and rumour mongering being deliberately perpetuated against a prestigious organisation like CBSE, it said.
