SURAT/ VADODARA: Mehul Kumar, a BCom student, had convinced his topper friend to appear in online exams on his behalf. But minutes after his friend started answering questions, he was immediately identified.
Another student who thought a prompter sitting beside him will help in crack the online exams too failed miserably.
Nearly 500 such copycats have been caught adopting unfair means while appearing in online exams of various undergraduate and postgraduate courses of Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) that began on June 26.
These students were simply not aware that their images are being clicked, videos being recorded by the devices which they thought would give them a lot of leeway to cheat. Based on this suspicious conduct, VNSGU has registered cases against these students which are being reviewed by a fact-finding panel.
