Picture an overcrowded college where students have spilled out from the classrooms and are sitting on the corridors, staircases and even the playground, writing their final-year undergraduate exams. Now, add the spectacle of mass copying to it.
That’s what happened at the Ram Lakhan Singh Yadav (RLSY) College, a constituent of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University, in Bihar’s Bettiah town. The cheating came to light when a video surfaced on Saturday, showing hundreds of students sitting in small groups, at any place they could find, copying answers from each other.
The situation at several other colleges affiliated to the university was the same. Students of Mahesh Prasad Singh Science College as well as a couple of other colleges in Muzaffarpur were also seen sitting in the corridors and staircases owing to the mismanagement.
The RLSY College principal, Rajeshwar Prasad Yadav, said there was no space in the college building so the administration was forced to make them sit on floors. “The college building has the capacity to accommodate 2,500 students at a time. However, the university has allotted around 6,000 students for the examination at our college. How can we make space for so many at such a short notice?” Yadav said.
The principal added that he took up the issue of this massive overcrowding with the district administration, the vicechancellor of the university, local MLAs and other officials, but to no avail.
Yadav, however, denied that unfair means were being used by the students during the general studies examination. “The examinations went off peacefully under the invigilation the college teachers even though we faced space constraint in the college building,” he told TOI.
