University Student's 'Ancient Hindi' Answer Sheet Viral

Examinations are often a stressful time for students, whether in school or university, as they strive to achieve the best possible scores. Many put in hours of hard work. However, some resort to questionable methods to secure marks, as shown in a recent viral image of a student’s exam answer sheet.

The image, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by an account named @gharkekalesh, features a set of hilariously bizarre answers to history-related questions. According to the image, the student, Ashish “Goldie” Kumar, is a BA student at Sangam University. The exam in question is for the subject “Ancient Hindi,” as noted on the sheet.

The first question asks the student to write 300 words on the Battle of Jhelum (Battle of the Hydaspes), a significant event in Ancient Indian history. In his answer, Ashish describes Alexander the Great (referred to as Sikander) allowing his horses to chase after King Porus. To convey the sound of the horses, he wrote “Tabadak, Tabadak, Tabadak,” filling several lines with this sound word.

Not leaving Porus defenceless, Ashish continues by describing how the king shot arrows at Sikander, using “Sanya-Sanya” to depict the sound, again filling several lines. He concludes his answer with a lyric from a Bollywood song, stating, “Friends, he is known as Sikander, who knows how to win even a losing bet.” The page is marked heavily in red by the examiner, who sarcastically wrote “Fisaddi” (Loser) at the bottom.

The image was shared with the caption, “Teacher ke Fisaddi remark ne student ke life mein kiya kalesh” (The teacher’s ‘Fisaddi’ remark caused trouble in the student’s life). Netizens quickly reacted in the comments. One user asked, “University se bahar hua ke nahi?” (Was he expelled from the university or not?), while another commented, “Ashish Kumar rocked, teacher shocked.” A third user remarked, “Sab jante hain ye fake copy hai” (Everyone knows this is a fake answer sheet).
