TET 2014 Scam: “No Original OMR Sheets for TET 2014,” Claims Lawyer in Explosive Allegation
TET 2014 Scam: Kolkata, September 12, 2025: Advocate Firdous Samim has made a sensational allegation regarding the 2014 Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) conducted by the West Bengal Board of Primary Education. In a recent interview, he claimed that the board possesses no original OMR sheets from the 2014 TET exam; all they have are editable copies. This allegation has ignited a new storm of controversy in the state’s education sector, creating uncertainty about the future of thousands of job aspirants.
Shocking Details of the OMR Scandal
According to Advocate Firdous Samim, no mirror images or unalterable copies of the OMR sheets from the 2014 TET exam were preserved. This means there is no trace of the original answer sheets submitted by the candidates. He alleges that the copies currently held by the board could have been, and were, easily modified. He believes this was done to help many undeserving candidates secure jobs in exchange for money.
He stated that a private company named S. Basurayan & Company was responsible for the entire process. This company handled everything from the evaluation of OMR sheets to the final selection of candidates. In Samim’s words, the absence of original OMR sheets made it much easier to manipulate the marks.
What Could Be the Impact of This Allegation?
If this allegation is proven true, it will raise serious questions about the transparency of the 2014 TET exam. This could lead to the following consequences:
- Legal Complications: The entire recruitment process could face legal challenges. Eligible candidates may approach the court, demanding the cancellation of the appointments.
- Future of Jobs: The future of those who have already secured jobs could become uncertain. An investigation could lead to the termination of many appointments.
- Credibility Crisis: The credibility of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education will be at stake. This will have a profound impact on future examinations and recruitment processes.
This incident highlights a dark aspect of West Bengal’s education system. It remains to be seen where the investigation will lead and what the future holds for thousands of job aspirants. However, one thing is clear: this controversy is not going to settle down easily and its repercussions will be far-reaching.
