China does take its college entrance exams rather seriously. For many years the Chinese government has been trying to find a solution to all the cheating tactics that are used by the students to sneak into the highly reputable Universities.
The latest weapon in the fight against cheating on China’s all-important college entrance exam is a six-propeller drone.The contraption flew over two testing centers in Luoyang city in central China’s Henan province to scan for any unusual signals being sent to devices smuggled by students taking the annual test.

In an urban area full of tall buildings, various barriers limit the operating range of devices on ground, while the drone can rise up to 1,640 feet and detect signals over the whole city.
Thus the whole idea of using Drones as means of ensuring transparency and impartiality has proved to be quite a success with its wide spread surveillance and immaculate signal detection power.
