Here is an article that explains how such fraud is committed by people like Pinky's father and Tuntun Singh types. http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl1916/19160410.htm
There are "seats for sale" in the exams and they are "bought" for a "price". It is a racket. Though vigilance agency try to catch the crooks, the system is so messed up that it needs greater cleaning up measures.
The sad part is that capable candidates like Krishna are made to "fail" making room for nitwits like Pinky. Later, these selected people feed the corruption by demanding a price for every job as they need to "repay" the corrupt (it is blackmail after that). So, the cycle is perpetrated.
Recently, the government has tried to stem some of the leaks in the system by scanning every answer document as soon as it is brought in, but there are still devious ways by which scanners mysteriously stop functioning and await to be "fixed" while answer documents are "fixed" to ensure they get the right marks.
I sincerely hope that the show represents the "decent" part of the population who still make it into the civil services and the RTI act ensures greater transparency of evaluation and the rubrics for selection. This should greatly aid the clean up of the system. Soon I hope there are such tough exams for politicians too so that we have people who can actually write legislation and understand the constitution of the country and be able to serve the electorate that elected them!
