Mahabubnagar Inter Student Denied Entry Into Exam Hall For Arriving Late

Mahabubnagar: The Telangana education department officials are strictly following the timings for the intermediate board exams. Lakshmi Devi, a first year intermediate student in Government College, Midjil, reached the examination centre later to write her Economics paper on Monday but the officials didn’t allow her to write the exam. 

Feeling dejected, the student staged a sit-in near the examination centre. Explaining the delay in reaching the examination centre, Lakshmi said she was travelling in a bus from Hyderabad to appear for the exam on Monday and the bus broke down on the highway. It took some time for the repairs, so she reached the examination centre a bit later. The student said she tried to explain her late coming to the examination centre officials but in vain.
