After being on the run ever since the merit scam was exposed, Bachcha Rai, principal of Bishun Rai College, surrendered near his college on Saturday.

Nobody came second in toppers scam mastermind Baccha Rai's college. Students from various states came to seek admission at Baccha Rai's Bishun Rai College with dreams of topping exams and Baccha used them to print money.

ADMISSION FORM OR RATE CARD?



India Today examined an admission form for year 2010-12 of Bishun Rai College which turned out to be a rate card more than an admission form.

There were three groups A, B & C on the main form and the student had to select a group during admission time. If a student selected 'A' category means that he or she wanted to get 80 per cent + marks in the exams. If a student selected 'B' category then he or she wanted marks between 70 and 80 per cent. To get between 60 and 70 per cent, students chose category 'C'.

TOPPING EXAMS IS A COSTLY AFFAIR



The Rate card of 2010-12 shows that for Science stream, a student had to shell out Rs 10,000 in three installments if they selected 'A' category. For 'B' and 'C' categories, students would have to pay Rs. 8,000 and Rs 7,000 in three installments respectively.

"As Baccha Rai got success, rates also increased." Amrendra Singh, teacher who worked for 20 years at Baccha Rai's college said.

The college later started charging Rs. 25000-40000 for securing first division to students and Rs 1 lakh to top the exam.



NO COLLEGE FOR SECOND PLACE



In Bihar Board, a student needs 60% or above to secure a First Division. Therefore it means that there was no provision for coming second in this college.

"Nobody came second in Bishun Rai College. Money was taken from students for providing first division only. How could anyone get second division when everything from examination centre to evaluation centre to Bihar School Board was managed by Baccha Rai," Amrendra Singh added.
