Parents writing exams for children's entrance to schools

About two weeks ago a friend told me this bizarre story. The schools in Bangalore had become so competitive that the schools won't admit students if their parents are not educated enough. That's why parents had to write exams!

Some stand in queue overnight to be able to write such exams.

Looking for other sources whether such stories are documented.

Mobile finder

Explored for options to locate a phone after a person shared on Facebook. The person received anonymous calls from a particular phone number. I thought there should be a way to figure out where that phone call or at least where it originates:

TRUE CALLER: Need to login, but gives information on phone user (subscriber), name of service provider and its area.

MOBILE TRACKER: Provides the info at state level.

ALL TRICKS: Gives more options to find out phone location.


Not very satisfied with the service from the above links, but at least they give location in general.
