A college in Karnataka has come up with a unique, and perhaps, bizarre solution, to a perennial problem -- of cheating students.
According to ANI, the authorities at Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri made the students wear (yes, wear) cardboard boxes over their heads. The boxes would act as blinders and the students won't cheat.
Twitterverse went berserk as soon as the images of the said makeover were shared online by news agency ANI.
What ensued was more hillarious that the visual of cardboard-clad students.
All is, however, not well. The college authorities have been served with a notice seeking explanation.
“A notice has been issued to Bhagat Pre-University College seeking explanation for forcing its students wear cardboard boxes (cartons) while writing exams to prevent them from copying,” a Haveri district Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) official told IANS.
