By AFPMore by this AuthorNEW DELHIAn Indian college has been banned from conducting examinations after it cut off the sleeves of women candidates for nursing tests to prevent cheating, officials said Monday. Video shown on Indian TV showed staff at the school using scissors and razor blades to slash the women's sleeves before allowing them into the exam building on Sunday. Many of the women can be seen carrying the ripped-off sleeves into the exam hall as dozens of police stand guard outside in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar state. The eastern state is notorious for exam trickery and reports of mass cheating regularly make headlines. Nearly 1,000 students were expelled by the Bihar state government in February for cheating in school exams.
