Hundreds of law students in Bihar went on the rampage on Saturday after
being denied the use of unfair means in their law examination.

Angry students, appearing for LLB part III, went on the rampage in Patna,
Gaya and Sasaram districts, when they were not allowed to use unfair means
in the examination.

Official sources in the Education Department confirmed that students in the
exam centre at Jagjivan Ram College in Gaya, TPS College in Patna and Sher
Shah College in Sasaram, district headquarters of Rohtas district, went on
the rampage and boycotted the examination.

"After authorities deployed at the examination center, including police
officials, did not allow the students to carry books, copies and mobile
phones inside the exam hall, the students turned violent, shouted slogans
and boycotted the exam," a senior official of the Education Department said
on Saturday.

"It was a firm decision of the state government not to allow unfair means in
examinations" said Bihar Education Minister Brishen Patel.

In Sasaram, for the second consecutive day, students boycotted the law exam.
Some of the students fired in the air to create panic among the college
staff.

Later, they set the office and other classrooms in the college on fire,
damaged furniture and threatened the college staff of dire consequence.
Sources said that out of 344 students, only one girl appeared in the
examination on Saturday.

In Gaya, students demanded the right to use unfair means in the examination
on Saturday but were not allowed to do so by the local administration.

"It led to a heated exchange between the students and administration
officials. Later, the students went on a rampage and damaged college
property," college sources said.

In all three colleges, students expected to be allowed to use unfair means
as they had not attended a single class and the syllabus had not been
completed in time. "How can we give the exams without using unfair means,"
was their angry query.

In Bihar, the use of unfair means in examinations is a rampant practice. Not
only students, parents also demand the right to use such means during
examinations.
