One of the reasons why cheating is rampant in India is because the examination system in most colleges is mind-numbing and uncreative. The intelligent students don't find an incentive in working hard for an examination based on a rote pattern, and the "smart" ones follow suit leading to a culture where honesty in examinations isn't important. I have seen a few of my Indian peers be able to appreciate the difference in the testing methods and change their attitude accordingly. But the "acting smart" mindset is set in far too deep in most of the students who just care about getting good grades. Having said that, I think improving the vetting procedure for the entry of international students is necessary; and sadly that does not seem to be in focus due to the revenue that students from foreign countries bring in.
