Cheating in this case has to do with an education system that has lost touch with its purpose of sharing valuable knowledge. Students will cheat if they do not find value or meaning in learning the material. The pressure should be on the educators bring purpose back into the system and into the minds of students.
I've been through mind-numbing classes focused on memorization of meaningless trivia, as have all students, and I personally feel fewer moral qualms about cheating in that kind of class than a class where I am able to make the personal connection between the material and its value to me.

However, I've having gone through the public education system in the United States, I know which classes were the worst (the ones all about memorization) and it sounds like the public education system in India has a lot of those classes. Perhaps the educators are only acting on behalf of the system within they exist (as a preparatory organization for this exam), but I think if the buck is to stop anywhere, it's with the administrators of the education system, they need to be held accountable.
