The students respond with a chorus of laughter and affirmations. Oblivious to the boy hiding behind a wall, the professor continues, “Somebody entered the classroom, is it so?” Just as the tension peaks, the boy makes a swift escape, leaving the entire room in stitches.

Social media reactions

A user named Sai Aditya, who claimed to be present during the class, commented, “We are supposed to be inside by 4:05 PM. The instructor jokes about monitoring the doors, and this situation was no different. The whole lecture hall is visible to him, and no one escapes his vision."

Another user, Amala, humorously reminisced, "I used to give attendance for myself and two others in different voice tones whenever they were absent. We’d scoot through the back door after that!"

The video has struck a chord with many, reminding alumni of their own playful moments in the classroom. As one user, Keerthana Kashyap, fondly put it, "I miss sitting in a class like this with 70 others, laughing in sync."
