Kolkata: West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee today said that the government would examine if the leak of political science question paper was deliberately done as an act of conspiracy or was due to negligence.
Confirming the leak of the political science question paper at a degree college yesterday, affiliated to the Calcutta University, Mr Chatterjee said that the government was keeping a watch on the situation.
"We are ascertaining if it was a deliberate act as part of a conspiracy or sheer negligence. We can't allow such gross neglect to pass undetected," the minister said while addressing the inaugural ceremony of APAI (Association of Professional Academic Institutions) in Kolkata.
Mr Chatterjee also called upon private engineering institutes to improve their infrastructure.
"We have seen the standard and benchmark are not the same for every private engineering college or university. And they don't have the similar crowd of students. There is a wrong perception that the number of seats falls short of students. Everyone can be admitted - but in accordance with his merit," he said.
"The state has witnessed developments both at macro-level and micro-level in higher education," he said.
