In a bizarre incident, first-year students of Bhagath PU college in Haveri, Karnataka were made to sit for examinations wearing cardboard cartons which covered their heads, in order to avoid them from cheating. A hole was cut out on the front for their faces. 

Photos of the students wearing cardboard boxes and writing their exam went viral on social media on Friday. As soon as the officials of the education department were apprised about the situation, they ordered the institution to stop the practice.
