Kolkata, March 7 (NationPress) The Kolkata Police Law Institute (KPLI), which provides a two-year Master of Law (L.L.M.) degree and a three-year Bachelor of Law (L.L.B.) degree for serving police personnel from Kolkata Police, West Bengal Police, and other state government entities, has released a warning against the use of unethical practices during its examinations.
The principal of KPLI has laid down stringent rules to prevent such unfair practices amidst reports of misconduct by several examinees.
"It has come to our attention that some candidates are resorting to dishonest methods during examinations. It is strongly recommended that no individual enters the examination venue with books, study materials, notes, or any electronic devices, including smartwatches, for strict compliance," stated the notice, a copy of which is accessible to IANS.
In addition to L.L.M. and L.L.B. degrees for in-service police personnel, KPLI also offers a five-year L.L.B. program for the children of both active and retired members of Kolkata Police and West Bengal Police.
KPLI was established on August 19, 2016, during the current Trinamool Congress administration and was inaugurated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Affiliated with the University of Calcutta, the institute has received approval from the Bar Council of India.
The Kolkata Police Commissioner serves as the Chairman of the Institute.
In response to the notification from the KPLI principal, BJP state general secretary Jagannath Chattopadhyay expressed regret that such a notice was necessary to deter unfair practices in examinations.
"Those responsible for ensuring integrity in general examinations, such as the ongoing higher secondary examinations, are now resorting to unfair means themselves. Under Mamata Banerjee's leadership, the prevalence of dishonest practices in all types of examinations has become a reality," Chattopadhyay asserted.
As of now, neither the KPLI authorities nor any officials from the state administration have commented on this issue.
