Anticipating her family's wrath seeing her failure, this was her attempt to cajole her evaluator to award her the passing marks. This incident puts a lot of question marks on Indian education system and societal norms.

In the recent past, there have been a plethora of instances wherein students have requested their evaluators to award them passing marks.

A few days ago, a college in West Bengal suspended ten students for writing about love and Bengali films instead of answers in their semester exams.
