Images showed students wearing boxes, cut open on one side, to prevent them from being able to copy other people's work.
Officials from the Bhagat Pre-University College in the southern state of Karnataka issued a public apology abut insisted it had been done with the students' consent, and that they had brought in their own boxes!
The pictures were reportedly taken on Wednesday and showed rows of pupils sitting exams while wearing boxes with windows cut in the front to allow them to see.
College administrator MB Satish has since apologies for the move and told BBC News that:
"There was no compulsion of any kind.
"You can see in the photograph that some students were not wearing it.
"Some who wore it removed it after 15 minutes, some after 20 minutes and we ourselves asked them to remove it after one hour."
