Bribe for marks
- Education
- Original Marks Card
- Paid INR 100
During my engineering days, we had to work in the shop.
Some of the students including me had worked on the metal welding project etc. ourselves. Some of them got it made from outside shops since it was easy and well made.
The workshop instructor used this excuse and said he will fail everyone unless everybody paid Rs. 100
No one complained, as those who paid got full or full minus 1 or 2 marks and those who did not pay were getting abysmally low marks, which they raised after the payment. This was the dirtiest I had been to anything in education.
After a lot of debate, some of us who had done the metal work ourselves, finally decided to give in since everyone else had submitted their work and got good marks. I was really ashamed of myself, and even though this was a long time back, I still remember the anger I was in.
