Anupama Parmeshwaran: A picture went viral on the internet recently in which Malayalam actor Anupama Parmeswaran's picture was placed in a Bihar state Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) certificate.
This is not the first time that something like has happened. Earlier the Sunny Leone's picture was seen of the certificates for Bihar engineering exams. This time, Anupama's picture was used in a certificate which had a male candidate's name of it. The candidate, with 'Anupama' face and Rishikesh Kumar as his name had scored 95.4 in maths paper 2 and 77.7 out of 150 in maths paper 1. The birth date in certificate was written as July 20, 1991.
Bihar state examinations have earlier made headlines for wrong reasons. Reports of fraud and scam in government exams have surfaced over the years. Pointing out the same, opposition party leader in Bihar Tejashwi Yadav attacked the Chief Minister and his party in the assembly. He said, "After Sunny Leone topped in the junior engineer examination, Malayalam actress Anupama Parmeswaran passed the STET examination."

"Nitish Ji (Chief Minister Nitish Kumar) is involved in examination and recruitment scams and destroying the future of youths in the state. He takes a decade to complete the recruitment process of one job and it happens with scam and irregularities," he claimed.
Earlier, Baba Saheb Rao Ambedkar University of Muzzaffarpur in Bihar issued a passing certificate to one of its student who had given Bachelor of Arts part 2 examinations. The certificate had the student's father's name written as Emran Hashmi and mother's name as Sunny Leone. Something similar was repeated in Public Health Engineering Department exams when Sunny Leone was declared as the topper of the junior engineer examination. Leone had received 98.5 marks.
Opposition parties in Bihar have alleged a scam in the examination procedures. Many students also protested against board after the STET results which were published.
