Shocking and saddened.  To the youngsters, your parents spent their hard earned money working day and night  to send you to college. Now imagine what your mother, father, brothers and sisters are going through, after seeing their sons photos arrested for using and selling drugs. You educated youngsters have ruined your lives and your families lives. Nothing good happens by taking drugs it’s only the beginning of your destruction. So get smart and stay away from drugs and stay away from people who take drugs.

Mysuru, Feb 26: The Pre-University Education Department was taking several measures to prevent paper leaks during the II PU examinations, scheduled to commence from March 4, a statement said on Tuesday.

Among the few measures that the board has chalked out, students would not be allowed to leave the examination hall till the last bell. In case of any emergency, the student could leave the exam hall but s/he would be required to surrender the question paper to authorities in the hall.

This is being done to ensure question papers aren’t circulated during exam hours by those who exit the hall before the last bell.
