    What's the story

    56 intermediate colleges and schools lost affiliation to the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) due to lack of infrastructure, teaching and non-teaching faculty and alleged involvement in illegal practices.

    The number of institutions that have been disaffiliated has reached 124.

    This clampdown is the result of the toppers scam which surfaced in May 2016.

    Information

    The Bihar toppers scam

    In May 2016, after the Class 12 results of BSEB were declared, the so-called toppers were found incompetent of answering basic questions from subjects they topped in.

    This forced the state government to investigate; re-tests and interviews for the state toppers were announced and they failed to answer basic questions yet again.

    Approximately 20 people were put behind bars in this scam.
