We have chanced on a photo which shows that a school really made its students wear cardboard boxes on their head during an exam just to prevent them from cheating.
The incident was reported to have taken place at Bhagath PU College in Haveri, Karnataka, as these students were made to wear cardboard boxes on their heads during the exam to stop them from cheating.
This is a new way of preventing exam malpractices and it is very different from the normal one which involves educational institutes setting up CCTVs in the exam hall and having multiple invigilators to get rid of the malpractice in exams.
The incident happened during a recent exam that took place on October 16 when students were writing their mid-term exam, and just before they started they were asked to cover their heads with cardboard cartons with having only one opening for their faces.
Authorities brought up this idea as many students were allegedly found cheating during the last year’s exams even after repeated warnings.
Deputy Director of Public Instruction Department, S. S. Piraje commenting about the incident said;
“We have clearly told the management to give a written explanation and if this kind of incident is repeated in the future, the department will cancel the license of the school.”
However, the director of the college, M. B. Sateesh, said:
“We implemented this idea to curb malpractice and not to harass students. This is just an experiment. We discussed it with students and took their consent before implementing it.”
