After the CBSE paper leak case, today HRD ministry has set up a "high-powered committee" to examine the whole process. This panel will examine the whole process by which CBSE conducts their examinations. The panel will consist of seven members, headed by former HRD secretary Vinay Sheel Oberoi. Mr.Vinay will suggest the measures to make the process "secure and foolproof through the use of technology" and submit a report by May 31 to the ministry.

The committee's other members include former CBSE Controller of Examination and Secretary, Uttar Pradesh Examination Board Pavnesh Kumar and India representative on the executive board of the UNESCO, former NCERT director, and NCTE chairman J S Rajput. Former vice-chancellor, SNDT Women's University, Vasudha Kamat, and former Director of Education Krishna Mohan Tripathy are among the other members.

According to the HRD's School Education Secretary, Anil Swarup, "The government has constituted a High Powered Committee, comprising experts, under chairmanship of V S Oberoi, ex-Secretary, MHRD, to examine the process of conduct of CBSE exams and suggest measures to make it secure and foolproof through the use of technology," 

"The panel will examine and assess all areas of potential weakness in the present system of transporting question papers from the printing presses to the examinees. It will also suggest ways in which the system can be made more secure with the use of technology and minimization of human intervention," the official said.

According to HRD ministry officials, the panel will revisit all features related to the security checks built into the system. This will ensure that the question papers reached the destination without any tampering.

The development comes amid criticism over the conduct of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exams, after the alleged leak of the Class 10 mathematics and the Class 12 economics papers. The HRD Ministry had last week announced the re-examination of the CBSE Class 12 economics paper on April 25.
