Cheaters and those tasked to prevent cheating are perpetually engaged in a cat versus mouse game.
As a counter, the examination monitors are now using unheard of implements like otoscopes to check for Bluetooth earbuds. An otoscope is a medical device which is used to examine the ears.
A video of one such incident has gone viral and is attracting a variety of comments on Twitter ranging from from downright cynical to the outright comical.
In India, where the annual medical entrance exam is a huge hurdle for tens of thousands, see how monitors walk around checking ears of students for hidden, small bluetooth ear-buds that might be used to relay exam answers from outsiders. #jugaad pic.twitter.com/hBFyc0L6fK
