The Bihar Legislative Council commenced its proceedings amidst uproar as students were prevented from entering exam centers due to delays. Opposition members criticized the government’s handling of the situation, emphasizing that students should not be barred from exams due to transportation issues. MLC Sanjeev Kumar Singh highlighted the psychological impact on students who prepare for years but are denied entry at the last moment.
In response to concerns raised, BJP MLC Nawal Kishor Yadav suggested allocating home centers or locating exam centers nearby to avoid penalizing students for delays. Chairman Awadhesh Narayan Singh assured that the government will address the issue sensitively. The strict enforcement of entry timings during the Class 10 board exams led to distress among students and families, with many attributing delays to traffic congestion and transportation problems.
Several candidates reported being denied entry after gates were closed despite facing traffic issues. Tragically, a Class 10 student from Masaurhi died by suicide after being refused entry for arriving a few minutes late. The student allegedly jumped in front of a moving train on a nearby railway track.
