Guwahati: In an untoward incident, a student in grade 12 fainted at the board centre and interestingly the reason wasn’t examination pressure.
According to reports, the incident took place in Bihar.
Reportedly, when the boy reached the examination centre, he found himself alone in a room filled with girls.
The student identified to be Shankar and a student of Sharif’s Allama Iqbal College.
He went to the Brilliant School to take an intermediate exam.
Shankar’s aunt stated to the news agency that the boy fainted out of anxiety when he learned he was the only boy among 500 girls.
The boy not only fainted, but also got a fever, so he was rushed to a nearby hospital.
“He went to the examination centre and saw that the room was full of girls, he became nervous and developed a fever, and he fainted,” said the aunt.
According to reports, the grade 12 student has been admitted to the Sadar Hospital.
According to the boy’s most recent health report, he is still receiving therapy, but his condition has stabilised.
There is also a video online of Shankar’s aunt giving an interview at the hospital. The woman, who is seated next to his nephew, confirms the examination’s venue and the reason of the boy’s nervousness. While the extent of the boy’s injury remains unclear, the aunt revealed he got his hand fractured as he fell after fainting. The student lying on the hospital bed is also briefly visible in the footage. Take a look at it here:
The unusual incident has garnered the attention of many internet users. One of them commented, “Impact of Gender segregation.”
Another joked, “Zyada khushi bhi katarnaak hai (Too much happiness is dangerous).”
The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) started the class 12 examination on Wednesday, February 1. The schedule indicates that the board exam will end on February 11. Each student who is scheduled to appear has received a special ID from the BSEB. In the unfortunate event that a student forgets their hall ticket, the supervisor can still recognise them by their distinctive ID. The candidate will not be allowed to take the exam if they do not present the required documents at the testing centre.
