A 17-year-old Grade 12 student in Bihar, India, fainted during his board examinations (the equivalent of Singapore’s A-Levels).
17-year-old Manish Shankar Prasad from Allama Iqbal College, had showed up at the Brilliant Convention School in Sundergarh for his mathematics examinations earlier in February.
He later realised that he was the only guy inside the examination hall, which was full with 500 girls, and he then blacked out and fainted, according to Asia News International.
Manish was rushed to the Sadar hospital where he also suffered from a fever, although he is currently in stable condition.
Manish’s aunt spoke to ANI and said that he had fainted because he was too nervous from seeing so many girls in the examination hall.
He was seen being asked what happened but didn’t say or mutter a single word throughout the interview even after being asked several times.
The trauma of seeing so many girls appeared to be too much for the guy.
Students in India are sometimes segregated by their gender in come co-ed schools, where boys and girls sit separately in class.
This could be one of the reasons why Manish was not conditioned to being in the presence of so many girls all at once.
Netizens’ comments
- If I’m the only female student with 500 guys in an exam room I would probably also faint.
- After you get married, you will realise just 1 can make you faint or die
- In heaven also faint
- One in a million! You are so lucky! What a pity!
