Close on the heels of the controversy over Bihar Class XII exams where a Humanities topper told TV channels that Political Science was about cooking, it is now the turn of the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) to face scrutiny over the fairness of its examination process.

According to a report in The Indian Express, one of the students who scored over 90-95 percent marks in the objective section of the Mathematics paper in Class X exams, said that a triangle had four sides.

Over 500 students who were suspected of cheating during their Class X exams were made to answer basic questions related to the subjects in which they had scored really well. All who were quizzed at the GSHSEB headquarters at Gandhinagar ended up scoring zero marks.

The method of cheating in Gujarat was a little more refined as compared to Bihar, which is known for the rampant disregard for law and order prevailing there. The conspirators managed to "whisper out the answers" to the students while a teacher (and a co-conspirator) would stand exactly below the CCTV camera, thus blocking its view.
