Two graduates in Nizhny Novgorod were removed from the Unified State Exam for a cheat sheet and a phone

In Nizhny Novgorod, two graduates had to be removed from the Unified State Exam (USE) after they were found to have a cheat sheet and a phone. This was announced on June 2 by Mikhail Puchkov, Minister of Education of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

The incident occurred on Monday, June 1, when 11th grade graduates were taking the exam of their choice.

"The exams were calm, and everything would have been just fine if it hadn't been for two deletions: one for the cheat sheet, the other for the phone. The saddest thing is that in such a case, the result will be canceled and it will be possible to retake the exam only as part of the next USE campaign in a year," Puchkov said in his channel in the Maks messenger.
