High Tech Cheating Style In Medical Exam- Sky Is The Limit
The fusion of technology and human brain was best exhibited by few students during All India Post Graduate Medical Entrance Examination conducted at All India Institute of Medical Studies (AIIMS), New Delhi on Sunday, 08 Jan.
The two students taking the exam had tied their mobile phones to their wrists nicely covered by the sleeves of their shirt. The question papers were scanned by the mobiles and the images were then transmitted to a control room and downloaded.
The papers were solved by the experts who dictated answers to six candidates who had Bluetooth devices stitched near the collars and were using small earphones as well to avoid detection.
Where did they falter? What went wrong? That is yet to be known.
Is there a better way of cheating in such exams? Keep thinking.
They were unlucky to get caught. Many like them may have got away with such attempts in other exams or will try to repeat the same style of cheating elsewhere, and get away with it.
It was indeed, a classic example of using Technology in the best possible manner. I wonder if this example will pave the way for small time cheaters in other exams all over the country. Only strict vigil by invigilators with latest devices can check such attempts.
One can imagine the level immense preparations the gang must have made before putting their plan to action.
Here is some food for thought. Would it not be wise to reduce the weightage of written exams and lay more emphasis on viva and interviews conducted by an experts panel?
