Vish, Agreed that the Indian education-system needs a major revamp.. but that does not give the liberty the right to "Cheat in exams".. No wonder, people look down at degrees conferred by Bihar Universities... Unfortunately, the honest ones suffer!!!

no man people look down degree not because they are attained in bihar but they are attained in INDIA (that's right). i am in US and indian degrees don't count a shit unless you have had a job expirience. it's really sad how we work day and night to study and it doesn't count. i know how india work. if you are some teacher's son you get full points and someone like me, middle class has to work so hard. at the end of the day we get same grade, and he probably gets better job than i do because of laagvag(someone knows him)i was sad i had to leave my country but i am glad i am in US because people recognize talent and gives you credit for it. i love my india but i hate how people descriminate in every section and there's no such thing as fair and unfair

Vish..I think it is a training issue rather than anything else. The students are not being provided proper ethical and moral training right since childhood. I still remember moral science was regarded as the least important subjects in our schools. All this leads them to think that cheating is justified and many of them even brag about it openly as if it is something to feel proud of. They feel honored with the fact that they entered the exam room with 2 books and walked out without being caught! Our kids are being trained in such a manner. Otherwise, to your other point, I feel Our Indian syllabus even today is regarded as one of the best in the world. Our software engineers who are highly regarded in the world today and many more successful Indians are a product of the same education system. Hence, we have a system, rules, policies in place...only proper training and guidance is missing.
