The results of India’s first online examinations bear proof of this. An unprecedented number of students from Delhi Technological University have received the “outstanding” grade, or at least 90 per cent marks. The misgivings of some educators regarding online examinations become clear if the figures are compared to last year’s results. There are murmurs that some of the ‘meritorious’ students may have evaded the checks and balances and resorted to unfair means to score heavily. Education policy must also address the problem of students adopting unfair means during examinations.
