Cheating in exams taken to new levels in India

Cheating in exams is fairly common in the Indian state of Bihar, but new images show just how large-scale and blatant the practice is.



Many students smuggled in textbooks and notes into the examination centres despite tight security - and parents and friends scaled the walls of test centres to pass on answers to students during the current secondary school examinations.



The examinations, held by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), began on Tuesday and are scheduled to go on until 24 March.

Officials say more than 1.4 million students are taking the tests. Most of the incidents of cheating this year have been reported from Saharsa, Chhapra, Vaishali and Hajipur districts.
