Relatives climb a wall to pass cribs to students during physical education exam

Friends and relatives of 10th grade students who were taking an important exam at a school in the Indian state of Haryana were filmed climbing the back wall of the building to pass cribs to their loved ones.

This was reported by SSPDaily.

Chandravati School in Haryana's Noakh district recently found itself at the center of a major exam cheating scandal after viral videos appeared on social media showing people climbing over the school wall to pass cheat sheets to students. School officials insisted that there was no cheating during the 10th grade exam and that people were just trying to help their friends and family, but some sources claim that these real-life "Spider-Men" started climbing walls only after they received the exact test questions and were looking for the correct answers.

Someone took a picture of a questionnaire for a physical education exam and shared it with friends and relatives of students waiting in the parking lot behind the building where the exam was taking place. This allowed people to find the answers, write them down on a piece of paper, and then share them with the students through small windows.

In one video, at least a dozen people are seen climbing the concrete building and calling students to the windows so they can hand them the answers.

However, despite the evidence of fraud, school officials claim that the video only captured an attempted fraud, and add that security guards managed to prevent outside interference during the exam.

"The men were creating chaos outside the school, but there was no cheating going on inside. Although they tried to address the students inside, we made sure that nothing bad happened," the school staff said in a statement. "Our school is not facing any problems, all violations are coming from outside. We do not even allow anyone but students to enter the building. There is no cheating, and students take their exams properly. The police are patrolling the area and officers are stationed in different parts of the campus," added Principal Nidhi Rohilla.

However, despite the complete denial of the school authorities, there are those who claim that such cases of cheating are common behavior in the school and that security during important exams is just a formality.

"This is an annual thing, and I have witnessed it regularly. Though the police make visits, it is a formality," a former student of Chandravati School told the Indian Express.

"It is a routine activity. Students' friends throw cribs through the window bars to help students pass their exams. Most teachers don't protest," a 10th grade student confirmed.
