The front side of the cartons were, however, were cut for the students to breathe and see but not peep left or right to see the answer sheets of the other students seated on the same bench.
Reacting to the incident, state Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar said that such an attempt was not acceptable.
"Nobody has any right to treat anybody more so students like animals. This perversion will be dealt with aptly," tweeted Kumar.
Defending the preventive action, college head M.B. Satish told the media that a college in Bihar had used a similar method to check rampant copying during exams and was widely appreciated on the social media.
"We tried to see how it works as a trial and told the students in advance that boxes would be given to each of them to wear before writing the exam," he added.
