Bizzare: Army Applicant Take Exam In Underwear

In an extreme attempt to prevent cheating during a
written exam , Indian Army in the state of Bihar has asked
over 1, 000 applicants to strip to their underwear and take
the test outdoors .
Images published by Indian media show the unclad men
in an open field trying to complete the test by holding the
sheets of paper on their thighs or on the ground , under
the watchful eyes of uniformed supervisors. “We were
frisked and then ushered into an enclosure . Then the
army officers asked us to remove all clothes except our
underwear , ” said 21 - year - old Harishambhu Kumar . “ I felt
awkward , but the army people told us it was to check
cheating , so I got used to it . ”
The bizarre army recruitment exam took place on
February 28 and has drawn criticism from the state ’ s
high court , which has sought an explanation from India ’ s
Ministry of Defense after a lawyer filed a petition against
the army . “The decision to ask candidates to appear for
the exams without a shirt , trouser or vest is simply
bizarre , ” lawyer Dinu Kumar said. “Those who showed
reluctance to remove their clothes were asked to leave . It
was insulting. ”
Officers responsible for the outrageous requirement don’ t
seem to remorseful , though . Colonel V . S . Godhra ,
director of the Army Regional Office in Muzaffarpur, said
the over 1, 000 candidates were asked to strip to their
underwear and sit in an open field to prevent them from
hiding any cheat sheets in their clothes or under the
desks and chairs . “I am entitled to take all precautions
necessary . In the past year , there have been two
instances of candidates hiding cheating slips and mobile
phones in their vests and undergarments, ” he was quoted
as saying, by the Press Trust of India . “We did not insult
anybody or subjected anyone to cruelty. No examinee
complained , so why outsiders are making a hue and cry
over the matter. ”
