When the DM tried to test her general knowledge, she wrote Pratibha Patil as the president, and Smriti Irani as the Bihar governor. This stunned the district magistrate so much that he had to order a check on her degree.

A few years ago, a Samastipur primary school teacher was caught on camera telling her students that a year has 360 days and that Patna is the capital of India. She also spelt January as "Junuary", apple as "apil", Saturday as "Shatrdey" and education as "adukesun". Last week only, the Bihar Education Minister Brishen Patel admitted in the assembly that over 1,000 teachers had used fake degrees to get jobs in the state.
