The images were taken during a chemistry exam at Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri, Karnataka state.
They showed students wearing boxes, cut open on one side, to prevent them from being able to copy other people’s work.
A junior college administrator has spoken publicly and apologized to district officials for the incident.
MB Satish told BBC Hindi he was sorry for trying to use the unusual anti-cheating technique.
He said the school has only implemented the measure on an “experimental basis” after hearing of its use elsewhere.
He also insisted it had been done with the students’ consent – in fact they had brought in their own boxes.
Regional officials reportedly rushed to the school to complain as soon as they were made aware of the images.
School officials have said they have ceased the practice and are co-operating with the school board’s directive.
