AS Covid cases escalate day by day, it has become mandatory to switch from physical to online classes. Schools and colleges have to conduct online tests and examinations. And although classrooms are a mixture of bright and dull students, the pandemic has blurred that distinction.

By holding online examinations, it is hard to keep an eye on students who just want to secure good grades. This is why many of them resort to cheating. While their examinations may give an impression that they are as good as their peers, the fact is that this cheating contributes to the moral degradation of society.
