After a video of the Bihar school topper being absolutely clueless about their subjects went viral, the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has asked them to appear for a retest.

The board has called all 14 toppers from arts, science and commerce streams for 'a small re-examination' on June 3 to ascertain whether they actually scored what has come out on their mark lists.

The video of Ruby Ray who scored 91 out of 100 in political science had tuned out to be a huge embarrassment to the education department after she appeared totally clueless on her subject.

She couldn't even pronounce political science properly and ended up calling it "Prodigal Science" and explained that the subject was about cooking food.

For science topper Saurav Shreshtha, aluminium was the most active metal, and he had no idea about sodium and electrons.?

These had raised serious questions on the credibility of the exams. After the video went viral, the state government had also ordered a probe into the matter.?

Bihar is no stranger to mass exam-cheating. A couple of years ago a video of parents and friends climbing school walls to hand cheat-chits to students who were appearing in the exams had exposed the amount of fraud happening in exams in the state.
