The ordeal of B.Ed students in Gorakhpur, it took a whole hour to find the exam centre, tension increased even before the exam.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Examination day is full of stress for every student, when every minute seems precious. But imagine, what would be your condition if it takes you an entire hour to find your exam center even before the exam starts! Recently, some similar news has come out from Deendayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University (DDU Gorakhpur University), where the students appearing for B.Ed examination had to face this problem.

Rush to find exam hall

The incident took place during the B.Ed examination, when many students had to struggle to reach their examination centers located in Gorakhpur city. There was so much confusion regarding the address and exact location of the centers where the examination was to be held that students had to wander on the streets for an hour. You can imagine, children are already under exam pressure, on top of this the struggle of finding a center in an unknown city or area increases their stress manifold.

Many students kept changing buses and auto rickshaws, asking people for addresses, and were nervous whether they would be able to reach on time. Often, the university administration or exam organizers do not provide clear information about the centres, or new centers are set up at places that are difficult for students to reach. Something similar seemed to have happened this time too. The fear of being late for the exam, on top of that the heat or the crowded environment, all together had become a nightmare for the students.

Waste of precious time and stress

Every minute before the exam is for revision and keeping yourself calm. But wasting an hour in searching for an exam center means that students lose valuable revision time, and they may not even be able to sit in the exam hall with a calm mind. This entire situation can have a negative impact on the performance of students.

The officials conducting the examination should pay special attention to avoid such problems. Lists and maps of test centers should already be clearly posted on the website, and better guidance should be provided, especially for new centres. So that in future no student has to face such problems and they can give their exams without any extra stress.
