The OP has misinterpreted my comment as a racist attack on Indians.
My point was that corruption (or perception thereof) in an organisation, sector, or industry breeds (or at least sustains) corruption, as corrupt individuals are attracted to it. Conversely, an apparently "clean" organisation, sector, or industry is less likely to attract corrupt individuals, and is more likely to stay clean.
Looking at Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index: https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_perceptions_index_2016 https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_percept...
In (e.g.) India, Turkey, Serbia, one would expect the test cheaters to be attracted to the civil service. In (e.g.) Russia, Iran, Mexico, even more so. In (e.g.) Denmark, New Zealand, Finland, one would not expect them to be attracted to the civil service.
In those countries with less government corruption, one would expect corrupt individuals to be attracted to different sector.
