Unable to indulge in open cheating, students of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar University have left behind imaginative messages in their answer sheets.
While one student filled up the pages with lines from a religious song, another ¡®answered¡¯ all questions with lines of an aarti. Much to the amusement of baffled teachers, the student has even written the meaning of the lines.
Not to be left behind, another wrote: ¡°My girlfriend believes that I am good in studies. Please award me at least the pass marks or she will leave me.¡±

But he is not the only one to ¡®bribing¡¯ his way to success. Many also wrote how they could not prepare for exams because of ¡®painful experiences¡¯ before the tests. In an answer sheet of a political science student, verses from the Hanuman Chalisa were scribbled across.
These instances have come to light during the evaluation of answer sheets following completion of 2017-18 main exams. More than 5,000 answer sheets are being assessed by the teachers every day, said varsity officials. The administration aims to declare results by June 15. Around 5.5 lack students have taken the final year exams this year.

¡°In some cases, up to 20 pages of answer sheets have been filled with personal remarks. I have come across film scripts, poetry, requests to award pass marks and in some cases students have even attached currency notes,¡± said a senior teacher of history.
GS Sharma, public relations officer of the varsity, said, ¡°The office of the vice chancellor along with a team of senior teachers are monitoring the evaluation process. Students seem to think that they will pass by writing these silly things instead of the answers to questions asked.¡±
