Student Dies During Graduation Exam Due to Lack of Facilities
- A student died during his graduation examination at Sant Kabir College.
- Angry students created a ruckus alleging the lack of fans and drinking water during the exam.
- The college administration canceled the examination for both shifts.
Amit Kumar, a student of History at Baliram Bhagat College, died during the examination. Several students fainted during the exam due to the lack of ventilation and drinking water in the classrooms. The students complained that there were five students per bench in the exam hall, causing discomfort for over 150 candidates.
The college administration failed to respond promptly when students started fainting, and an ambulance was not called in time. The police arrived at the scene and the student was rushed to Sadar Hospital, where he was declared dead.
Details of the Incident
The incident took place during the first year undergraduate examination under Lalit Narayan Mithila University. The students were taking an Arabic-Hindi paper during the first shift from 11 am to 1 pm. Amit Kumar’s health deteriorated around noon due to the heat, and he fainted. Despite receiving water outside the exam hall, he passed away shortly after.
Efforts to Manage the Situation
Sadar SDO Dilip Kumar and DSP Sanjay Kumar Pandey, along with the police, arrived at the college to pacify the students. After considerable effort, Amit Kumar’s body was taken to Sadar Hospital, where his death was confirmed. The deceased’s relatives and other concerned individuals also arrived at the hospital.
Following this, the students and their relatives returned to the college with the body and created a disturbance. They then blocked the road near Golambar in the city by setting fire to objects.
Two Female Students Receiving Treatment
Out of the dozen students who fainted, two were admitted to the emergency ward of Sadar Hospital. Both girl students, Soni Kumari from Samastipur district and Preeti Kumari from Muzaffarpur district, are currently in stable condition and undergoing treatment.
