Abstract
This paper analyzed records of examination malpractices perpetrated by pre-serve NCE teachers and undergraduate teachers in Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin. Findings from the study indicated that more female trainee teachers were involved in examination malpractices than their male counterpart. The use of micro-chips, copying / giraffe and swapping of answer scripts were the major forms of examination malpractices among the trainee teachers. The study equally revealed that incidence of examination malpractice was steadily increasing among the pre-serve NCE teachers. The paper called for zero tolerance approach to all forms of examination malpractices in teacher education institutions in the nation.
