Actually the only way to test people's integrity is to put them in a position of compromise. Do they then take advantage of the situation or not?
I believe that there are cheaters-at-heart in every batch, but this batch apparently took their exams remotely which created the chance to cheat via Whatsapp. For most batches in the past, the exams were held conventionally in exam halls. The opportunities to cheat (in such a manner at least) were close to zero and hence people rarely cheated.
Does this mean that those from previous batches had more integrity? Not necessarily. They simply were not tested on their integrity.
