Watch: Bihar's political science topper says her subject is about cooking

Most people would agree that a lot needs to be done to improve the educational system in India. There have been plenty of reports in the news about alleged cases of rampant cheating particularly in the state of Bihar. This has led the authorities to clamp down on malpractices during exams that perhaps resulted in less than 50 per cent of students clearing the class 10th board exams this year. But this Bihar political science topper's interview will leave you perhaps as confused about the syllabus as she was.

A video posted by India Today shows Rubi Ray, the political science topper in Bihar, apparently unable to answer even basic questions about her subject. The girl from Hajipur who was interviewed by a news reporter is heard saying that she thought her subject was about cooking. She has reportedly scored 444 marks out of 500 in the subject.

Another student, who had aced in the subject of chemistry, had reportedly even said that he thought that aluminium was the most reactive element in the periodic table even though the correct answer to that question is: fluorine.

The video clip managed to tickle the funny bone of quite a few people with many going on Twitter to express their amusement.
