Disqualified from taking exams for two years

Apeejay Institute of Management and Technology (AIMT) in Dwarka (India) has disqualified a student from taking exams for two years because he received a text message during an exam, reports Hindustan Times.

The student is appealing to the Delhi High Court against the Schools's decision on the ground that the action was taken without giving him any opportunity to show cause or being heard.

While taking the 7th paper in April last year he was carrying a mobile phone and received and SMS during the examination, but it was not in any way connected with the subject.

The Invigilator confiscated his mobile phone and answer sheet and forced him to sign a confessional statement on the promise that no further action would be taken against him".
