Students in India arrived at the examination centers and got not only their admit cards checked but also their feet after the examination board barred them from entering the premises wearing socks or shoes, in an attempt to end the prevalent cheating tricks.
Over 1.7 million students in Bihar, appearing for the 10th grade examinations in over 1200 centers, were only admitted inside the exam hall in flip-flops or barefoot if they showed up wearing socks or shoes.
This was the outcome of the Bihar School Examination Board’s (BSEB) effort at stiffening the lasso around students who engage in corrupt means of passing an exam by cheating.
The notification was issued by Chairman of BSEB, Anand Kishore who stated: “It is the usual practice in other competitive examinations held in the state. The board decided to adopt the practice from this year."
Earlier in the month, around 1,000 students were castigated for cheating during the grade 12 examinations.
