Cheating & its perils

 

One cold morning in this February month of 2024, I was sitting at a photocopy shop. I was getting some prints done at the shop. Then a group of students came to enquire about something. They asked the shopkeeper in a hushed way whether they could get mini photocopies at their shop. The shopkeeper turned them down immediately. It was apparent that they were getting those photocopies for cheating in the exam. This is very common now a day. One student will prepare the note and the whole gang would photocopy it. They are so busy that they cannot do those themselves.

For a few years, students are getting caught doing cheating exams and they get expelled for one year. Their names are shared to all departments for information. Sometimes, parents come and cause havoc at the departments. Then, they were told what to be told and things go by like this all the time.  When, a student gets expelled for a year, it is a great loss to the student because one year is totally wasted. Moreover, his impression gets tarnished at the department. Many a time, it affects the future performance. So, students should refrain from such activities.

When one does cheating and never gets caught, it becomes a bad habit. Slowly, the student becomes overconfident in his skill. Moreover, when you do cheating, you never learn. You have just wasted your time at the college. Later on when you apply for job, you get difficulty because you have learn nothing You had only fun all the time. Then, you have to put more years in coaching to come at par. You grow old as years go by and sometimes, you surpass your age to apply for job. If you see, for a four year engineering course, you have given four more years. It is just waste of time and money. So, you need to control your hunger to get marks without work by cheating. Sometimes, you will score low marks but you will gather concepts which will lessen your time in future. One should keep in mind, one has to gather the knowledge for a certain job, and then only you will clear written and interview round.
