Bizarre Exam Responses from Students in Bihar
Unique Responses in Exam Answer Sheets
In examinations, students typically fall into two categories. The first group consists of those who have prepared thoroughly. These students comprehend the questions and respond accordingly on their answer sheets. The second group, however, lacks any preparation and often submits amusingly unconventional answers when their sheets are reviewed.
Currently, at T.M. Bhagalpur University in Bihar, the evaluation of first-year answer sheets is underway. The teachers grading these sheets are encountering some rather peculiar responses. For instance, one student included the lyrics of Mohammad Rafi's song 'Tere Ghar Se Samne, Ek Ghar Banauunga...' in their answer sheet. Others have taken creative liberties, writing poetry or short stories instead of answering the exam questions.
A Humorous Plea for Passing
Among the amusing responses, one student wrote a heartfelt plea: 'I am getting married soon, please pass me.' This suggests that failing the exam could jeopardize their wedding plans, leading the student to emotionally appeal to the teacher. This unique response was found in a chemistry answer sheet at Tilka Manjhi University, Bhagalpur.
Some students even included Hindi song lyrics in their answer sheets. Dr. Rajiv Singh, a teacher in the chemistry department at TNB College, Bhagalpur, noted that such unusual responses were rare in the past but have become increasingly common. Only about 10% of students managed to understand the questions and provide correct answers.
A Student's Desperate Promise
This isn't the first instance of students submitting bizarre answers. Recently, a student's answer sheet went viral after they swore on their family and child to receive passing marks. The student wrote, 'Please sir, just give me 28 marks. I swear on your family and your son.'
