Cheating in exams Goes Cellular……

In the fast paced life of the 21st century, cell phones have becomes a necessity. The manufacturers tirelessly accommodate one utility after another in these tiny gadgets, from cameras to digital note pads. You name it and your phone has it. Now making the use of this technology are all those who rely on a little “assistance” during the examination.

Normally, mobiles phones are not allowed in the examination centres, however, during the latest graduate level examination, it was noticed that students were not searched before the exam and therefore almost all of them kept their call phones with them. Since the vigilation was minimal, students made most of the opportunity and used their phones freely. In other cases, where the inspecting staffs is bribed to assist the cheating process or simply turn a blind eye to the proceedings, the students prefer to use the cell phones instead of pharas and other cheating material.

Female students who cheat in exam with their phones basically do so by putting on the “hands free kit” and then cover their heads with Dupattas, thus hiding the phones as well as the head set.

Students also store the required data in their latest mobiles phones (equipped) with word pad and this information is then not only used by the students himself, but it also shared with others by means of text messages.

The latest fad of Blue Tooth is also being used for cheating, the device enables a student to make a call with the head and ear alone, even if he/she does not have the phone with him.
