Neil Agarwal posted a screenshot of the chat on X (formerly Twitter), sparking a wave of laughter and nostalgia online. Captioned, "They still think I’m a failure," Neil’s post quickly went viral, with users relishing the humour.

From 2018 to 2024: The unexpected texts

The story began in April 2018, during Neil’s first-year engineering days. Neil had texted his professor twice that day, seeking permission to submit his maths files. The first text read:

“Ma’am, this is Neil from A1, FE. Will you be accepting the maths files today?” The professor replied briefly, “Signing only.”

Determined to finish his task, Neil sent another message later:

“Ma’am, have you come to college today? We want to submit our files.” This time, he received no reply.

Fast-forward to 2024 — three years after Neil graduated in 2021 — he received a sudden text from the same professor.

“Neel, are you in college today?”

Startled and bemused, Neil replied, “What is this regarding? I passed out in 2021.” The professor’s response? “Ok, I thought you are in 8th sem.”

The post also struck a chord with engineering graduates, many of whom reminisced about the unforgettable quirks of college life.
