Indian army tackles cheating by making 1000 candidates take exam in underwear in field!!!

India's army made candidates at a recruitment day in Bihar take a written exam in their underwear to prevent them from cheating after a spate of exam scandals in the eastern state.

Images in the Indian Express showed dozens of men sitting cross-legged in a field clad only in underpants, with many resting their test papers on their thighs, while a uniformed supervisor stood guard.

The paper quoted an army source as saying they took the radical step to "save time on frisking so many people" after more than 1,000 candidates turned up.

"We had no option but to comply with the instructions even though it felt odd," one would-be recruit told the paper.

An army spokesman in New Delhi refused to comment on the report, which came a year after police in Bihar said they had arrested around 1,000 aspiring officers for paying people to sit their exams for them. Full story...
