Is there no-one monitoring the exam inside the room?

Re: India students caught 'cheating' in exams in Bihar
#22Not sure if relevant, but when I was in 10th Grade, the teachers helped all of us in the exams. They didn't want to tarnish the image of the school by having a low-pass result. Yes, India.
This can happen anywhere. I remember my old high school math teacher helping the star math pupil get a higher score on the AIME[1] and then again on the IMO[2]. The student was suspected of cheating and, thankfully, given a second chance to take the exam again (don't remember which one) without the teacher present.

#23On a much different scale, but an Indian outsourcing firm we do business with (Capgemini) gives our interview questions to subsequent candidates. Sometimes it's evident they are trying desperately to Google for answers during telephone interviews, and I've even noticed that there is sometimes someone else there feeding them with answers!
Why do you continue to work with them?
I don't have a choice. I've previously had much more successful engagements with companies in China and India, so would gladly change if it was up to me.
However, I work in a large organisation, and even if my direct manager agrees with me, those above him honestly couldn't give a shit what we think.

#24Seems like BBC in a mission to defame India. They also seem to forget the problems in their country and focus on others.

45000 British students caught. Although this article was published in 2012. Worth noting that, this kind of news are not news at all for BBC.
EDIT: For all the downvoters. You got the right to do it but read this article starting from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_BBC#Indophobi...
BBC was earlier criticized for being Anti-India, Anti-American, Anti-other religion stuff.

How does one cheat in IMO? Is your high school teacher your country's IMO team leader?
Re: India students caught 'cheating' in exams in Bihar
#26This analogue is seen through any sort of MOOC that you do. Register for one (especially programming/maths/science-related) and google some of the homework questions. There's heaps of sites where straight answers are given (as in, multichoice options to a question, no explanation).
For some, that seems to be worth their time. I don't even understand.
Re: India students caught 'cheating' in exams in Bihar
#27The problem is that if you have 1.4 million people to compete against in your state and you know the authorities don't really care if you cheat, then you absolutely have an incentive to cheat. This is a political & cultural problem, but is absolutely solvable. In my graduate program (~60 people) at a top tier US engineering school, about 10% were Chinese, 80% Indian, and 10% American. The Indians did all their work a…
I too noticed this in my graduate program. However the majority 70% were Chinese, and they did the same exact thing you say. They would come into the lecture hall early and plan out their seating arrangements for each and every exam. It was clearly noticeable they were cheating. I cant speak to Indian students as there was only one in the entire graduate program.

Not 45000 British students, but 45000 students in British universities.
