Desperate for higher education, Indian students turn to high-tech cheating

Delhi— Globe and Mail Update
What do you get when you combine Indian technical wizardry with a
desperate shortage of spots in higher education? Some really fancy exam
cheating.
Delhi police this week arrested five men they said are part of an
elaborate scam to crack the entrance exam for elite public postgraduate
medical schools.
The police say two of the men – recent MBA grads – pretended to be
candidates and went in to write the exam with Android cellphones
strapped to their forearms, hidden beneath their shirt cuffs. They used
the cameras in the phones to scan the exam questions through holes in
their coats, and images of the pages were sent automatically and
wirelessly to an email address.
