Subject: Unfair Means in Exams

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my concern over the increasing use of unfair means in exams. This trend has been observed in many schools and colleges across the country, and it poses a threat to the education system.

One of the reasons behind the use of unfair means in exams is the pressure to perform well. Students are often under tremendous pressure to score high marks and secure admission in good colleges. In such a competitive environment, many students resort to cheating, copying and other unfair practices to score good marks.

Another reason for the use of unfair means in exams is the lack of proper supervision during the examination. Many exam invigilators fail to keep a check on the students during the exam, which gives them an opportunity to cheat.

To combat this trend, we need to take some measures. First of all, we need to create awareness among students about the harmful effects of cheating and the importance of ethics in education. Secondly, there should be proper supervision during the examination to prevent students from cheating. Finally, we should also focus on improving the quality of education to reduce the pressure on students to perform well.

I hope that you will consider my views and take necessary steps to address this issue.

Yours sincerely,

Arun/Aruna
