Final-year agriculture students in Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) have been told they all must retake an exam, after a test sat last week was “compromised” due to students gaining access to the exam questions beforehand. On Monday the college became aware a number of students had gained sight of the exam questions prior to the test. The college has launched an investigation to establish how some students got access to the exam questions prior to the test. It is understood a significant enough number of students were believed to have seen the exam questions beforehand to necessitate the entire class retaking the test. The college has extended the library evening opening hours this week, to allow students to study ahead of the exam.
