Professor shares photos of pens her student used for cheating; netizens impressed

The professor of procedural law at the University of Malaga explained that she had confiscated the pens from a student years ago and found them again while cleaning her office.

Haciendo orden en mi despacho he encontrado esta reliquia universitaria que confiscamos a un alumno hace unos años: el derecho procesal penal en bolis bic. Que arte! #laschuletasnosoncomoantes pic.twitter.com/3J4LMn0RQF

Her October 5 tweet soon went viral with over 2.8 lakh likes. A Twitter user commented on it, “If you put this much effort into cheating you might as well just study it!”. Another user wrote, “In some respects, one has to admire the ingenuity. But it does raise the question – could not the course material have been committed to memory in the time it must have taken to etch these pens?”.

In December last year, a cheating attempt during a sub-inspector examination in Uttar Pradesh hit the headlines after an aspirant was caught with a hi-tech bluetooth wireless set hidden inside a wig. The clever tactic was discovered when a metal detector started pinging near the man’s head.
