I'd assume no because that suggests more rote examinations thus rote learning, and generic projects that mean results are easily replicable.

Pressure for great results in mediocrity, then yes.

India seems to get a lot of coverage on this topic - but it is hard to know how endemic it really is, as somebody who has never been there.

For example:

I would assume yes, because otherwise why would people bother cheating?
