Cheating and other use of unfair means to pass exams are not uncommon on any platform. The traditional offline mode of exams has seen a lot of cases where people used unjust methods to cheat in exams.
However, students find ways to cheat even during online exams. The difference between the offline and online mode lies in the steps and precautions taken to prevent it from happening. In the offline mode, the security measures include checking, strict rules, invigilators, and CCTV cameras.
In the online mode, the methods are cameras, recording facilities, and monitoring facilities, along with invigilators. The option of cheating is easier in the online mode, but with good measures in place, there are very little to no chances of that happening.
