Data analytics will help strengthen the reliability of the National Achievement Survey (NAS), Central Teachers Eligibility Test (CTET) and board examinations conducted by CBSE, the board has said. Besides appointing observers at exam centres, the board will also use advanced data analytics to detect cases/centres where there is a high probability of recourse to unfair means during examinations. “CBSE will use advanced data analytics to detect, respond and, therefore, in the long run, prevent any irregularities in academic testing across all major CBSE administered exams in the country,” the circular added. CBSE aims to identify examination centres where the data indicates the existence of malpractices during the conduct of examinations. Post this, appropriate measures can be taken by CBSE to strengthen the reliability of the examinations and to prevent any such malpractices in future.
