In the three days of the examination, over 1,000 students have been expelled. Although many students did not raise much hue and cry over stringent arrangements of the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), a few examinees did express their displeasure over constant frisking by officials while examinations were underway.

“They do not teach us anything in the college or school and during examination they do not let us cheat. While I do not mind ban on cheating, I am not happy with the constant body frisking and checking of answer sheets by officials every now and then. It wastes my valuable time,” said Arjun, an examinee from Chapra.

Interestingly, he wrote the examination while wearing a vest. “It is better this way,” he reasoned.
