Bihar Exam Scam

NEET Exam Row: A case has been filed against two Maharashtra school teachers for their alleged involvement in the NEET paper leak. The First Information Report or FIR has been registered in Maharashtra's Latur.

Nearly three years after a probe uncovered a massive scam in the Bihar School Examination Board, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has finally opened up on what many described as a "blot" on the state's education system.

Vowing to scale up efforts to clean up Bihar's school examination system, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday held a sharp drop in pass percentage of Class 12 students this year as evidence that the state was on the right track but conceded he had "miles to go to plug all loopholes". Not that the government hadn't tried in the past but the "wrong...

Bihar school examination topper Ruby Rai wrote names of movies in one answer sheet, the name of poet Tulsidas more than a hundred times in another and poetry in some others, which were then replaced by papers written by 'experts', the police have said.

A report prepared by the forensic science laboratory has confirmed that "experts" had written examination for Bihar Intermediate Arts "topper" Ruby Rai who had pronounced political science as "prodikal science" saying the subject deals with cooking.

In recent months, Nitish Kumar has not been on the best of terms with the media. Which is why, his "thank you" to journalists for exposing a massive exam scam that has shamed his Bihar was seen as unusual.

As Ruby Rai, 17, was allowed to go home three weeks after being arrested for allegedly paying bribes to not just clear but top the class 12 exams in Bihar, the police located a classmate of hers who had been missing along with three other students wanted for the big education swindle.

A schoolboy in Bihar who ranked third in science in Class 12 exams, Rahul Kumar, was arrested this morning as investigations continue into what has come to known as the "topper scam".

After nearly five weeks, Ruby Rai, a Bihar school girl arrested for cheating in her school exams, will finally be allowed to return home. She was controversially arrested by the Bihar police, moved to a juvenile home, and then denied bail twice.

A Bihar court on Monday granted bail to Ruby Rai, an accused in the toppers' scam, a government lawyer said.

It has been three weeks since school girl Ruby Rai was last at home. The 17-year-old was arrested after she was declared the topper in Political Science and said in television interviews that the subject involved cooking.

Days after Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das took a dig at neighbouring Bihar over the recent merit scam, reports from a college in Dhanbad painted a very unflattering picture of the education system in his own state.

The arrest of schoolgirl Ruby Rai in Bihar for allegedly cheating during Class 12 exams - which she topped - has divided the government, with some asking why the 17-year-old has been punished while her parents are free.

Five people have been arrested in the Bihar examination scam, which had drawn media glare earlier this month.
