Bihar college students expelled for making reels in examination hall
PATNA: A girl examinee filming a reel in the examination hall and that too during the examination, sounds interesting. The unusual incident took place at a college in Bihar's Samastipur district. The vice chancellor of Lalit Narayan Mithila University, Darbhanga, initiated disciplinary action against the girl examinee Kalpana Kumari and expelled her from the examination.
She has also been debarred from taking the examination for two consecutive terms. Not only that, another examinee Kundan Kumar has been punished for helping Kalpana in making the reels inside the examination hall. "Both the examinees have been expelled from examination on the directive of the vice-chancellor," a senior teacher of Samastipur College said.
The matter came to the notice of the vice chancellor when the reel made during the examination at Samastipur College went viral on social media. The vice chancellor reprimanded the college administration for lapses on its part and warned of action if such things happened again.
During the investigation, it came to light that a female student, along with a boy student who had come to take a graduate part one examination at Samastipur College examination centre made the reel and made the video viral on social media.
In the viral video, the girl can be seen dancing to a Bhojpuri song on the college campus with other examinees watching it.
The principal of the college wrote a letter to Nagendra Prasad Singh and Ramgati Sah, the parents of the girl and the boy, saying that their children violated the sanctity and confidentiality of the examination. Hence they have been expelled from the examination and debarred for taking the examination for two consecutive terms.
This is not the first of its kind incident in the state. The social media madness to gain followers and likes has caused embarrassment to the college and school authorities.
