The reason behind this act from the associates is that the matter to be data entered was to b done in a stipulated time and that was not enough. They were also involved in other works which put extra load on them. It was not good on part of organization to involve them into other work at the time of test. Also the document that was to be data entered into the database was a handwritten doc and the data entry was to b done as per a template provided to them. Hence to save the time to type the whole thing, they took the typed matter from their colleague and then edited and formatted the matter. And also made additions and deletions from the matter.

Hello Dr. Raj,
Pl clarify/confirm YOUR locus-standi reg this matter/issue. Are YOU the person involved?
Frankly, I fail to understand your logic. Forgive me for being absolutely blunt.
It's like the current set of politicians saying: I did "this & that & that, etc, etc ...." for the country--so the Parliament/Government/People should CONDONE my swindling the country, whatever be the amounts involved.
Like Dinesh, Kumar & Raj Kumar mentioned: there's NOTHING called a 'small' or a 'big' mistake. In the given set of Rules pertaining to any situation, the rules have to be adhered to. Here I presume that all the employees taking the Test have clarity that whatever was done is 'not permitted' [the reason for my presumption is that otherwise, this WOULD have been the point of argument/discussion].
Looking at the situation you mentioned from purely a psychology perspective, I am sure you know that the Quote 'little drops of water make a mighty ocean' also works in the negative direction when applied to human nature. Every...repeat....Every act of wrong-doing/corruption we see today originated from some small act being condoned earlier on ['why or how' isn't the issue NOR does it matter at all]. Hope you get the point.
Suggest guide the employees concerned to LEARN from this mistake & move forward in life.
All the Best.

I fully agree with Tajsateesh.
Dear Dr. Raj,
Every wrong-doer has a perfect reason for doing a wrong thing.
All dictators invariably conduct an election; to get their action validated by the public.
Every criminal will give you a perfect list of circumstances which forced them into the act.
The Delhi rapists also have their reasons for committing the heinous acts - did not they belong to under privileged section of the society; who were constantly being exploited; who had no girl friends or opportunity to roam around with them or take them to cinemas.
Was it their fault, if they were not born to a rich and affluent parents ??
So what wrong they did; if they simply raped just one girl out of a million; and the killing was only incidental or accidental !!!
It is just like you saying - a small issue, as small as copying of 20% of one question out of 3 questions - !!!
You are at liberty to justify yourself; or your actions. But it is unfortunate if you are looking for people to support a deed which by any normal moral standard is considered wrong.
What if tomorrow your family member or children give you a reason for cheating; your subordinate or your employee comes to you and say they did a certain wrong thing because of certain reason.
When it comes back to oneself, one realizes that it is not wise to try to change the definition of right and wrong.

I am not one of them. But they are from my team. The fact is that everyone taking the test took help from the colleagues, the trainers were there and the ones supervising were also helping with the answers. So, this test never created an atmosphere of a test. When the supervisor can tell you the answers then why can't you save your time by not typing something which is there in a scanned document. One more thing, this test was not a speed test in which we can say that the associates cheated by showing better speeds without typing anything. The test was to see how better one can represent the data and the representation was done by everyone on his own.
