India’s army made candidates at a recruitment day in Bihar
take a written exam in their underwear to prevent them from cheating, reports
said Tuesday, 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.
Last year a scandal in the state that saw relatives scale
the walls of a school exam centre to pass notes to candidates went viral and
made national headlines.
