The scam became even more sophisticated in 2011, when the Madhya Pradesh state government appointed Pankaj Trivedi, a lecturer at a government college in Indore, as the controller of examinations at Vyapam -- responsible for ensuring the security of the testing process.
2011年，作弊手法变得更加复杂。同年，中央邦政府任命印多尔一所公立大学的讲师潘卡·特里维迪（Pankaj Trivedi）担任Vyapam考试总管，负责确保考试过程的安全。
According to the police, Trivedi, who is now in jail, came under pressure from influential state ministers and officials to provide jobs and admissions for their relatives and friends.
据警方说，现已入狱的特里维迪承受了巨大压力，从普通官员到邦政府部长都要求给他们的亲戚朋友安排工作或入学。
New to the job, Trivedi turned to Mohindra, who devised a solution that was dazzling in its simplicity.
作为一名新手，特里维迪向莫因德拉求助。后者设计了一套简单却有效的方案。
Students who had paid to have their results fixed were told to attempt only those questions for which they knew the answers, and leave the rest blank.
支付贿赂的学生被要求只填写他们确定的答案，其余题目全部不答。
“Mohindra hooked all of Vyapam’s computers to a common office network and retained all administrator privileges,” said Tarun Pithode, an energetic young civil servant who was appointed Vyapam’s new director to set things straight after the scam broke.
“莫因德拉将Vyapam所有的电脑连接到一个办公室网络并掌握了所有管理员特权。”作弊丑闻曝光后成为V yapam的新头目并负责填补漏洞的塔伦·皮索德（Tarun Pithode）说。
After the multiple-choice exam sheets were scanned, Mohindra could access the computer that stored the results, and alter the answers as he wished.
在多项选择题答卷扫描后，莫因德拉可进入储存结果的电脑，任意修改答案。
Once the results had been altered on the computer, Mohindra would approach the exam observers and ask for the original answer sheet, claiming that the student had requested a copy under India’s Right to Information Act.
修改完电脑中的结果后，莫因德拉再向答卷保管人员索要原始答卷，声称学生遵循《印度知情权法》要求查看考卷复印件。
He would then sit in Trivedi’s office and fill out the originals so that they tallied with the altered version saved on the computer.
然后，他坐在特里维迪的办公室里给空缺的题目填写上正确答案，确保它们和电脑中的数据一致。
The most glaring example of this method was discovered in the case of Anita Prasad, a daughter of Prem Chand Prasad, the personal secretary to Chief Minister Chouhan.
中央邦首席部长乔汗的私人秘书普雷姆·普拉萨德（Prem Prasad）的女儿安妮塔·普拉萨德（Anita Prasad）在考试时就曾使用这一伎俩。
She had passed the PMT exam in 2012 with the assistance of Trivedi and Mohindra -- but failed to follow their instructions, and attempted to answer all of the questions, many of them incorrectly.
2012年，在特里维迪和莫因德拉的帮助下她通过了PMT考试。但是在考试时她没有遵循指令，反而试图自己回答所有问题，可惜很多都答错了。
When police investigators later obtained a copy of her original answer sheet, they found that Vyapam officials had used correction fluid to blank out her wrong answers and pencil in the correct ones instead.
当警方调查人员后来检查她的原始答卷的复印件时发现，Vyapam的官员用涂改液抹掉了错误答案，再用铅笔填上正确选项。
“In our review, we found almost every system had been subverted,” Pithode said.
“我们发现，这个系统的几乎所有环节都遭到破坏，”皮索德说。
“For example, every question paper set has an ‘answer key’ that is put into a self-sealing envelope before the exam and opened only at the time of tabulating results.
“例如，每套试题卷都配有‘标准答案’，在考试前装入自密封信封，等到阅卷时才打开信封。
Trivedi would seal the envelope in the presence of observers, but later would simply tear open the envelope, make copies of the key, and put the original document into a new envelope.”
特里维迪会当着监督员的面封上信封，稍后再拆开信封将答案拷贝下来，再将原始答案文件装入一个新的信封。”
