Internet’s reaction: “22 Lakh Students Suffer Due to Paper Leak = No Politician Resigned. 2 Minutes Late = 3 Students Denied Entry to Set an Example of Discipline. Two Systems in India,” a user said. “This is so heartbreaking to watch,” added another. “I don't understand why students get LATE, rather, they should present 15 to 30 min earlier? Is it a big task,” added another. “One of the main reasons for being late is the daily commute and the condition of Indian roads and traffic. People often leave their homes two to three hours in advance and still struggle to reach on time,” added another.
