Notably, the examination for the second sitting was scheduled at 1.45 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday. As the seating arrangement of students was not made properly in advance, the examination was delayed till 4 p.m. The students and their parents got angry and they shouted slogans against the college and district administration. Saurabh Suman Yadav, the SDO of Motihari (Sadar) and DSP Arun Kumar Yadav, reached the examination centre and brought the situation under control.

“We convinced the students and their parents for the examination which finally started at 4 p.m. and continued till 7 p.m.,” Saurabh Suman Yadav said. It was dark by the time the students settled down for their exam. As there was no electricity supply in the college, the administration arranged a generator but it did not cater to all the places. Finally, parents who came on their four wheelers switched on the headlights of their vehicles to complete the examination.
