Assam: Girl Made to Wrap Curtain on Legs for Exams
A girl had worn shorts when she went for her paper. The teachers did not allow her to enter. She then had to wrap a curtain around her legs, to be able to write the paper.
A 19 year old named Jubilee was appearing for an entrance exam to get admission for the Assam Agricultural University (AAU) in Jorhat, Assam.
Her exam centre was at the Chaudhary Institute of Management and Technology in Sonitpur district.
When she reached the place for the exam, she was not stopped while entering the campus, but when she was going to enter the classroom for her exam, a supervisor present there asked her to wait outside for some time.
Jubilee said, "I was told that wearing short clothes is not allowed in the centre. I asked - why? It is not mentioned in the Hall Ticket. They said no it's not mentioned in the hall ticket but in their college girls are not allowed to wear shorts.”
There was a huge argument between the girl and the teachers.
The teachers then asked her father to bring pants from outside.
But he could not do this, during that time two girls came from somewhere with a curtain and asked her to wrap it around her.
Jubilee said, “This was the most humiliating experience of my life. I had to travel 3 hours to reach the centre. I had even appeared for the NEET exam wearing shorts but no one stopped me. Is there a valid reason why a girl can't wear a short dress? Am I breaking the law by wearing shorts? I have filed a complaint with the government.”
People on social media were very angry with the incident. The college is now investigating the matter.
