Students' Nervousness During Exams

Exams can be a source of anxiety for many students, especially those who struggle with their studies. The fear of failing often leads them to write amusing remarks on their answer sheets. A recent incident in Shahjahanpur highlights this phenomenon, as the Uttar Pradesh Board's high school and intermediate exams have just concluded, and the evaluation of answer sheets is currently underway.

A Student's Humorous Plea

On Friday, March 24, during the checking of biology answer sheets at GIC, one student made a humorous appeal in her answer sheet. Her remarks have gone viral on social media, leaving many in stitches. She cleverly leveraged her identity as a girl, writing something that is hard to believe.

The student wrote, “Sir, I don’t know anything about biology. My home is so far from school that I can’t attend regularly. I often get late preparing food at home. You know how much work girls have to do.” Her candid comments have amused many online.

Other Students' Responses

Teacher Premshankar noted that such messages are not uncommon on answer sheets. Some students even slip money into their answer sheets, while others plead for passing grades citing poor financial conditions. There are even instances where students threaten self-harm or intimidate teachers.

One teacher, wishing to remain anonymous, shared that a student threatened to report him to Yogi and Modi if he failed. The student wrote, “If I fail, I will complain to Yogi Ji and Modi Ji. Your job could be at risk.” Such threatening messages have become increasingly common.

Ongoing Evaluation Process

In Shahjahanpur, six centers have been established for checking answer sheets, including GIC, Islamia Inter College, Devi Prasad Inter College, Janata Inter College, Abirich Inter College, and SP College. Approximately four lakh answer sheets are set to be evaluated, with more than half already checked. However, the process has been slowed down due to the absence of some teachers.

According to DIOS Shaukeen Singh, action may be taken against teachers who do not report for checking answer sheets. Have you ever written something funny for your teacher on your answer sheet?
