Some students have been forced to remove their bra due to the metal strapped to their bra when they made to go into their examination hall at TISK English Medium School in Kannur, Southern India.
Report says hundreds of students sat for the National Eligibility and Entrance Test for admissions to undergraduate medical courses across the country.
A mother of one of the students said, “My daughter went inside the centre only to return a few minutes later to hand over her bra.
“As she entered the centre, the metal detector at the gate beeped due to the metal strap of the bra. She was told to remove the innerwear for security, to prevent cheating,” her mother told the media.
“Many others were forced to undergo the same ordeal,” she added.
However, authorities in Southern Indian state of Kerala on Monday ordered a probe into the allegation that an 18-year-old student was forced to remove her bra at an exam centre as part of stringent measures to stop cheating in a national-level medical entrance examination.
Kannur’s District Collector M.M. Ali said that he would look into the allegations. “I have heard about the allegations.
“We will look into the matter."
According to the principal of the school, where the examination was held in the district, Jalaluddin K. said: “We have clear instructions that if the metal detector beeps, no one can be allowed inside.
“Whenever it beeped, we told students to remove what they have.”
