The answer

Cheating on exams is forbidden in Islamic law, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever cheats us is not of us." Teachers who help students cheat or are lenient with it are partners in sin. As for entering students' grades, there is no objection to it because it is not considered aiding in cheating, and the default ruling for actions is permissibility unless there is evidence of prohibition.
