Students made to strip for exams to prevent them from cheating

Students sitting exams in Sagore, central India, have protested after they were forced to strip to their underpants in a crackdown on cheating. Most of the boys were wearing vests, but those who weren’t were forced to give the three hour exam bare-chested. To their discomfort and embarrassment, female students were taking the exam in the same venue.

None of the pleas of the students - that they felt uncomfortable and unable to concentrate - were entertained. One student who was forced to appear shirtless for the exam said he felt humiliated by the treatment meted out and could not write his paper properly. “Not only our shirts, they also asked us to remove our shoes, socks and belt in the pretext of checking. While we were allowed to wear our shoes after the check, they kept our shirts and returned them only after the examination,” he said.
