As far as my memory goes - I think I can safely say this for the past six years, everyone I know is aware that you can get the results for practically anyone, as long as you know their name and their school. So I meant that that this is not anything revolutionary or new, let alone a security flaw. It's just how it is. And this is no violation of privacy as the author claims.

When the grades are announced, they are put up in their full glory in the school. There is no privacy! That is what I meant.

I know this is not a good thing, but I doubt this trend will change anytime soon.

And that is one reason very few pupils in India get depressed and commit suicide or steer towards drugs because they have scored less and/or others saw it.

And I don't complain about it. However with the recent (Sibbalusque) change in education marking system this trend may change.
