It comes as a first of its kind ‘dual test’ of students’ intellect and honesty.
In a first-of-its-kind exercise, about 1 lakh students of government colleges in Rajasthan on Monday appeared in an examination which was virtually a test of their honesty. The newly introduced monthly academic test was conducted without invigilators, while no equipment, such as CCTV cameras, were installed in the classrooms to monitor the activities of students.
The test, scheduled for the 29th of every month in the 2019-20 session, will not only assess the academic knowledge of the students but also their honesty, truthfulness, self-control and self-confidence. Teachers left the classrooms after distributing question papers and came of students’ intellect back after an hour only to collect the answer sheets when the time was up.
