In a shocking and unprecedented case, two nursing students were found writing their exams at a roadside dhaba on the Gwalior-Morena highway, allegedly through unfair means. The incident was reported when a passerby shot a video of the incident that exposed the blatant malpractice.
Video Exposes Open Cheating
Shared extensively across social media, the video shows the students writing exams and openly using notes and other material to cheat. The individual on camera has been identified as Upendra Singh Gurjar, District President of the Nursing Students‘ Association; he is heard rebuking the students.

“College me jagah nahi hai kya? Dhabe par exam kyun de rahe ho? (Is your college running out of seats? Why are you taking the exam here?),”Gurjar asked in disbelief. The video has since sparked outrage and raised questions about the integrity of nursing education in the region.
Cheating Mafia Alleged in Nursing Education
Gurjar claimed that the notorious Gwalior-Chambal region, where cheating has been rampant, is now facing a deepening crisis with the rise of a so-called “cheating mafia.” He alleged that the mafia is compromising the quality of nursing education by operating with the tacit support of officials from Jabalpur Medical University.
“Their activities are defaming the nursing education, damaging the future of the prospective students, and filling their pocket with the illegal money,” Gurjar said.
Bhopal to Protest
Reacting to this, Gurjar has decided to organise a huge procession in Bhopal on Sunday where nursing students from the whole state will take part. This time, they would be filing a memorandum with Higher Education Minister Mohan Yadav to take severe action against those who indulge in the cheating mafia and further aid the racketeers.
This makes the case for urgent reforms with tighter regulation mechanisms within the walls of educational institutions for the sake of the future of the aspiring professionals.
