Vishun Roy College

Vishun Roy College (abbreviated VR College, also known as Bishun Rai College) is an educational institute in Bihar state of India. It is located in the Kiratpur Raja Ram village of Vaishali district. Soon after its establishment in 1997, the college became well-known for producing the state-level toppers in the Intermediate exams. In 2014, allegations of irregularities surfaced against the college, with the chairman of Bihar School Examination Board being suspected of aiding the college in its "topper scam". In 2016, the students of VR College topped both science and arts streams, but were exposed as cheaters after a video of them failing to answer basic questions went viral. Subsequently, the college was de-recognized and the BSEB chairman was forced to resign.

The college was established in 1997-98. Its director and principal is Amit Kumar alias Bachcha Rai, a local political leader. The college is named after his grandfather. The family also runs other colleges, including four Intermediate colleges and a B.Ed. college. Rai is considered close to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav. During the 2015 Assembly elections, he spent one month canvassing for Yadav's son Tej Pratap. His father Rajdeo Rai had also unsuccessfully fought a Legislative Council election as an RJD candidate.

Soon after its establishment, VR college became famous for its high success rate in Class XII exams. In 2014, 7 out of the Bihar's 10 toppers were from this college. In 2015, Bachcha Rai's daughter Shalini was the state topper in the science stream. Because of its "stellar record" the college attracted students from far-off districts.
