Haveri: A private college in Haveri came out with a unique ‘in-the-box’ idea to prevent its students from cheating during the mid-term examinations.
Over 50 students of Bhagat Pre-University College wer made to wear cardboard boxes to prevent them from copying during the exams held on Wednesday. The incident came to light after a photo of the students wearing the cartons was posted on social media by a member of the college management with the caption: “It’s our college midterm exam today. That is Bhagat PU College, Haveri.”
According to the college management, students had been intimated in advance that they would be given boxes that would have to be worn by them while writing the exam. Despite repeated warnings, students resorted to cheating during last year’s exams hence the management introduced this idea on a trial basis, said an official.
Meanwhile after photos of the incident went viral, the state government immediately issued a notice to the college and sought an explanation about why the students were made to wear cardboard boxes.
