The Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) has said all actions during the entrance exam – VITEEE – are recorded and will be analysed for fixing the eligibility of applicants for participating in the admission process. This year, the exam is being held online, as a remote proctored test, in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. The exam started on May 28 and will end tomorrow, May 31. “Legal action will be initiated with those found indulging in malpractice activities. In addition, UGC and AICTE will be informed of your action to bar you from getting admission in any other institute of higher education or cancel your admission,” VIT said in a statement. Taking screenshots of questions, and sharing those is a legally punishable offence, it said. Referring to books, presence of any person with the examinee, or guiding him/her with audio or any other means is also considered as malpractice, it added.
