Exams Dept. bogus certificate business is not something that is recent ! –fee for amending is Rs.75000/-

(Lanka-e-News -01.Jan.2012, 11.55P.M.) Following this year’s G C E advanced level examination results muck up by Govt. officials, the attention of the public was drawn to the examination Dept.’s performances and activities. It has now come to light that for a long time a group of examination Dept. officials have been engaged in issuing counterfeit results on the sly for money, according to reports reaching Lanka e news.

To change the results thus of the G C E ord. level or the adv. Level examinations or to change the grades of the subjects , the illicit fee charged by the intermediary varies from Rs. 50,000/-to Rs. 75,000/-

The most vexatious and perplexing part of all these crimes committed by the Dept .is these unscrupulous elements have not spared the most important Sri Lanka degree qualifications from their sordid earnings – they issue a degree certificate for a fee of Rs. 3 to 5 lakhs. A policy of the much hyped University Grant Commission ?

Though these bogus results have been ‘manufactured’ , the special feature about it is , on a cursory examination , it is this bogus result that is revealed as true . But for an in depth investigation , its spuriousness cannot be detected. This is because all registers of records had been tampered with and amended for this purpose .

The beneficiary of this bogus result gives full payment to the intermediary only after inspecting the examination result via the ordinary results process and is computer generated.

It is learnt that there are so many who have obtained such spurious results and are spread across the globe, and who have not leaked out the racket.

A great majority of them have obtained such certificates to get jobs and to pursue higher studies abroad. When a foreign Institution inquires about the veracity of this certificate , what they get back is a confirmation of this computer generated result , meaning that the racket remains hidden sans complications.

Two of SL ‘s high profile cricketers are among those who have taken advantage of these bogus Advanced level exam. results , after amending them.

Going by the announcements made by the Examinations Commissioner in response to the havoc wreaked by his Dept. on the students examination results this year , it is very evident that his Dept. information and data storage division is not competent to maintain records duly and efficiently. He openly and shamelessly stated that , if a candidate has given an index No. of a previous exam to this year’s exam result , the student receives the result of another candidate. This is a most ridiculous statement.

In such an instance , what ought to have been done by the Dept. ordinarily is to notify the candidate that his number is in error , and cannot proceed any further . On the other hand when the Commissioner says, his Dept . gives a result of another candidate, he is implying that his Dept . will commit wrongs in respect of two candidates , instead of making a rectification.

The bottom line is , this bungling of the students’ results and thereby their future is part and parcel of an overall administration which does not care two hoots for discipline , rule of law and the future of the country , and when its concern is wholly and solely to politicize every sector in order to make them subservient to its evil power perpetuation.

We shall be bringing forth to you more exposures on the bogus results ‘factory’ and those behind it shortly.
