Bihar: Arts, science topper's results put on hold

Patna, June 1: Bihar education board has decided to put the results of arts and science toppers on hold after they failed to answer some basic questions.

One of the toppers of Bihar intermideate board, even failed to pronounce political science properly and termed it as subject about enhancing cooking skills. While on the other hand the science topper who scored 485 out of 500 failed to answer question related to periodic table.

Taking this as an embarrasment, the authorities have asked the toppers to appear before a panel for an interview. These students will be asked simple questions related to their subjects.

"Top five students of all the streams- Arts, Commerce, and Science would be interviewed by a special committee about their subject and also take a small test," BSEB chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh was quoted as saying.

"I have received a complaint that arts topper was not competent enough to top the subject. But we have re-examined her papers and could not find any problem in that. Hence, we have decided to call the top five students of all the streams and interview them. This is to find out the root cause behind this problem," he said.
