SMS for instant exam answers

A team from Ranchi University today swooped down on centres hosting the Part III examination and seized as many as 16 mobile phones from students, according to Telegraph India.

“To avoid any malpractice during examinations, the university branch office was asked to carry out these raids at all colleges during examination.

The authorities claimed that the handsets were brought into the hall by the candidates to help them get answers to questions via SMS.

Of the 16 mobile phones seized, six were confiscated by the authorities while the other 10 were returned after students gave a written undertaking that they would henceforth not carry the gadgets while writing exams.

As for the other six sets, the authorities will examine the message boxes to find out who supplied the answers to the candidates."
