GS4 · UPSC Mains

Considering this situation, your close friend confides in you that he can help you pass the course. He reveals that the lecturer inadvertently attached the file that included the answers to the final examination of the course while uploading course documents on the University's portal. Although the lecturer promptly rectified his error and removed the file, your friend successfully managed to download it. When you asked him about the chance of getting caught, he assured you that the University's digital infrastructure does not provide the lecturer with the ability to check if the file was downloaded. However, the University's ethical guidelines strictly prohibit students from sitting for exams if they possess unauthorized knowledge of the answers, with severe penalties for violations. (a) Given that no other student enrolled in the course will be harmed in any way even if you access the answers and perform well in the final exam, why should you refrain from accessing the answers? (b) You are aware that your friend has seen the answers, will you report him to the lecturer or the University authorities? Justify your answer. (Answer in 250 words)
