“Pic sent by a teacher. These notes were kept inside answer sheets of a board exam by students with a request to give them passing marks. Tells a lot about our students, teachers and the entire educational system,” Bothra wrote in his tweet. The image he shared showed notes of various denominations kept on what appears to be a bed.

“This has happened to me at least thrice during my paper correction days! To colleagues too even 20 years ago. The money is usually accompanied by a sad story narration instead of answers to exam questions. Needless to say, such students usually fail,” posted an X user. “Shame. Shock. Sadding,” added another.

“My nanaji was a teacher. I remember when I was young and visiting one summer he used to bring home board exam answer copies for checking and this used to be a lot - from 20/- to 100/- like 15-20 years back. I was shocked. He used to give marks as per their work anyway,” joined a third. “Dismal situation,” wrote a fourth.
