March 21, Siraha – The administration has tightened supervision in Siraha during the second day of the Nepali language subject exam under the Secondary Education Examination (SEE). According to the Education Development and Coordination Unit, during monitoring conducted on Friday, 194 mobile phones and 2 smartwatches were seized from nine examination centers across the district. Following violations of exam discipline, two center chiefs and four inspectors found with mobile devices were expelled.
The expelled individuals include Sanjay Yadav, the center chief from Balmandir Secondary School, and Ramkishor Yadav, the center chief from Janata Secondary School, Phulbariya.
According to Unit Chief Deepak Raj Kanaulee, an oversight team deployed under the leadership of Chief District Officer Surendra Paudel took immediate action upon attempts to disrupt the examination’s integrity. In the past, Siraha’s examination centers had been affected by cheating, influence, and mediation activities, which had cast doubts on the credibility of the examination system. This year, to prevent recurrence of such incidents, Chief District Officer Surendra Paudel confirmed that strict monitoring has been enforced.
This year, a total of 11,037 students from Siraha are participating in the SEE exam, including 10,625 from the general stream and 412 from technical streams. Among the examinees, 5,308 are female and 5,729 are male students. The district has designated 51 examination centers. According to the National Examination Board, the SEE exams are being conducted from Chaitra 19 to 29, from 8 AM to 11 AM daily.
