A university in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province will have its license to confer MBA degrees revoked following an exam fraud scandal in January, the Ministry of Education said yesterday.

School officials had earlier confirmed that 26 people, including 21 MBA candidates, cheated on a graduate student entrance exam held at Harbin University of Science and Technology on January 4.

The marks of the 21 MBA candidates were canceled. One of the directors of the MBA center and a deputy head of the university's graduate school were suspended pending an investigation.

It was reported that the school's MBA center violated regulations when cooperating with a training center in Beijing. They allegedly trained some candidates on how to cheat by using communication devices during the exam.

Local authorities said the group had planned meticulously and used high-tech equipment.

The suspects, who were not identified, have been transferred to prosecutors, the Ministry of Education added.
