<p>Roommates, we may have come up with interesting ways to cheat on exams, but a school in India is not having it! School administration has come up with their own way to stop cheating, which includes cardboard boxes.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-50110514">BBC</a>, students in the Indian state of Karnataka were forced to wear cardboard boxes on their heads during an exam to keep their eyes from wandering to their peer&#8217;s papers. The students were reportedly taking midterms, and teachers were in the classroom monitoring their every move.</p>
<p>The school has come under fire since the photo went viral, and a junior college administrator has since apologized to district officials for the incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is totally unacceptable. Nobody has any right to treat anybody more so students like animals. This perversion will be dealt with aptly,&#8221; a minister said about the incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is ridiculous and humiliating for the students, Yes, cheating is a problem, but this is not the way to solve it. Whoever approved this should be reprimanded,&#8221; one social media user wrote.</p>
<p>He says the school has only implemented the cardboard boxes as an experiment., and insists the students consented.</p>
<p>&#8220;There was no compulsion of any kind. You can see in the photograph that some students were not wearing it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Some who wore it removed it after 15 minutes, some after 20 minutes and we ourselves asked them to remove it after one hour.&#8221;</p>
<p>Regional officials reportedly rushed to the school to complain as soon as they were made aware of the images. SC Peerjade deputy director of the local pre-University Education Board, described the practice as &#8220;inhumane&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I got a message on this, I immediately went to the college and ordered the management to stop the practice,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I also issued a notice to the college management and am contemplating disciplinary action against them for implementing this idea.&#8221;</p>
<p>School officials have since stopped the experiment.</p>
