A large number of undergraduate students in Bihar were seen writing their commerce paper barefoot earlier this week because the Patna University had banned students from wearing shoes and socks inside the examination hall in a bid to ensure "fair" exams. Last week, invigilators caught some students with study notes tucked in their shoes and socks.
Following that incident, the university directed all students appearing for exams to leave their socks and shoes outside the exam hall. However, students who arrived at the centre wearing sandals or slippers were allowed to keep their footwear on.
