Bhopal: Anita Kumari scored an impressive 85% in the MP medical entrance inspite of getting only 15% of the questions right. The deficit was made up by the influence of her father, who was a private secretary to the CM according to a report in the Hindustan Times.

Her final score was surprising becuase she had answered only 31 of the 200 questions in the pre-medical exam, correctly, however not so surprising, when coupled with the fact that her father had undue access to the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB), or Vyapam and used the already full blown rigging mechanisms prevalent to ensure his daughter goes through.

The BJP government in Madhya Pradesh is now embroiled fully in the scam and its reputation is on the line.
 
“It was all done in a very precise manner to give particular marks to particular candidates. The computer records prove that,” a senior official in the board said.
 
Documents show that Anita had answered 61 out of the 200 questions, and just 31 of them correctly. However, 130 more questions were answered in different ink, apparently by Vyapam officials involved in the scam. Of these, 129 were correct.

Corrupt officials also used correction fluid to mask nine of her inaccurate answers and fixed them.

Both Anita and her father, Premchandra Prasad, have been named in the scam that has seen at least 40 deaths of witnesses and accused with whistleblowers saying people were being deliberately eliminated to shield influential politicians and civil servants. The case is now being examined by the CBI.
