    Karnataka college students forced to wear boxes to curb cheating
  • In a shocking incident, students of the Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri, Karnataka, were made to sit for their mid-term examinations with boxes covering their heads to prevent cheating.

    The incident occurred on Wednesday during the Chemistry exam of first-year science students and came to light after a member of college management posted a picture on social media.

    The image has since gone viral.

  • On Wednesday, the first-year science students were made to wear boxes, with holes cut out in the front, during their Chemistry mid-term examinations.

  • Meanwhile, SC Peerjade, deputy director, PU Board, rushed to the college after he learned about the move and ordered the management to stop.

    He told TOI, "This is inhuman and a civilized society will never accept such an idea. I hope this is never repeated again."

    Notably, students told Peerjade that the management forced them to wear boxes.

    He said, "There are traditional ways of managing students and preventing malpractice in the examination hall and the college can resort to them." He said he also advised students to alert the department whenever such incidents occur.

    Sateesh agreed to comply with the board's directive.
