Tests in India: Striving to Avoid Copying

In Bihar, India, military candidates have only been forced to strip their pants so that they do not have a choice in cheating as they complete their writing test.

The picture published in Indian Express shows dozens of men on foot crossing as they complete tests watched by soldiers in uniform.

This unusual form of test submission has been reasoned by military authorities such as “the best preventment from cheating”.

With frequent cases of copying through wise letters and equipment, we have chosen this form to reveal the knowledge of each”, the army statement says.
