Ever felt cheated?
Whenever rules are made, there are people who break them. Well, the most celebrated entry to this “rule breaking saga” is a college located in a remote village in India.
For the past few years, students of this college have been breaking the record in cheating. Every year, its students magnificently cheated and scored well in their exams without studying.
But this year, the whole fraud business was taken to another level! Students who scored the top ranks in the 12th board examination did not have basic knowledge about their respective streams.
According to an interview, the Arts topper thinks political science is all about cooking! How ridiculous is that! Even though I’m not an Arts student, I’m sure that political science has got nothing to do with cooking!
The “interesting” interview went viral on the Internet, following which the examination board announced a retest for the toppers.
As I predicted, our innocent little Arts topper didn’t show up on the day of retest as she was suffering from some illness.
But the Science topper did, and what he said was beyond my imagination! He said that he would commit suicide if such difficult questions were asked!
These incidents led me to think whether the students or the authorities should be blamed. Who would work hard if they already know that their parents have enough “connections” for them to clear the exams?
In fact, I don’t primarily blame those students. At every corner of life you meet people who are out there to cheat others for personal gains.
In such a scenario if you don’t cheat, you feel cheated, don’t you?
