There must be a lot of out-of-the-box' ideas to prevent students from cheating during exams, but this particular 'out-of-the-box' idea is putting kids in a box, literally.

During an exam at Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri, Karnataka, someone had the genius idea of making all the students wear cardboard boxes on their heads. Yep, legit boxes on everyone's head with just a cutout in the front so they could just see their papers.

It already sounds so hilarious - and just a lil bit sad - but what actually makes it better is that there are pictures of it. It's the best thing anyone will see today, I can guarantee it.

Apparently, during last year's exams, students didn't stop cheating even after repeated warnings, so this was the solution that the college came up with. I mean, there could have been more steps before resorting to literally putting people in boxes, but oh well.

The incident, obviously, went somewhat viral and the pictures are gold, tbh. There are so many hilarious reactions and at least the students' suffering wasn't in vain.

Legendary behaviour, truly.

Perfect explanation.

The college is using Marshmallow technique so that students don't use Pritam technique https://t.co/1YUeQ81QVU

The entire thing is so bizarre that the college even got a notice from the state government asking for an explanation.

Deputy Director of Public Instruction Department, SS Piraje said, "We have clearly told the management to give a written explanation and if this kind of incident is repeated in the future, the department will cancel the license of the school."

Well, I guess this was the first and last time something like this would happen.
