There are mainly two systems of examination used by educational institutes to evaluate the performance of students. Most institutes use the conventional examination system, and some use computer-based examination systems. Unfair means is an illegal act by a student in either type of examination systems. In this paper, we will provide an overview of the types of examination systems. We will discuss types of unfair means cases in computer-based examination systems and will discuss some patterns and trends discovered using data mining techniques. After discussing the patterns, we will also suggest some key points for avoiding and diminishing the unfair means cases.
