Education Minister P.K. Shahi said preventing the widespread problem was a huge challenge for his government, The Hindu reported.
“It is also the responsibility of the society to ensure a cheating-free exam,” he added.
“First, I appeal to parents and guardians to stop cheating to help the government ensure free and fair exams.”
Officials said that more than 1,000 students were caught cheating in three subjects in Bihar, including maths and English, but little over 600 were expelled.
Several parents were also reportedly arrested on unknown charges.
