To check the instance of copying in examination, first year students of Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri, Karnataka were handed over specially designed cartons to cover their heads, with a hole cut in the front for them to see, reports Times of India.
A video was shared on social media on Wednesday (16 October) which showed students wearing the cartons over their head while giving exam.
Deputy Director of Pre-University Education S.C. Peerzade visited the college as soon as he came to know about the incident and was reported saying that he issued a notice to the college management for implementing “an inhumane idea in the examination hall”.
As per MD Sateesh, a director of the college this idea was implemented to check the cases of copying the examination and was done as an experiment, not as a harassment tool. He also added that this was done with the permission of the students.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
