UPSC aspirant denied late entry: Mother faints, father wails

An aspirant for the UPSC Prelims examination was denied entry into her exam center in Gurugram due to late arrival. A video shows her mother in an unconscious state while her father wails in despair. Amid the distress, the aspirant is heard trying to console her father, saying, “Papa, please have water and calm down. Why are you behaving like this? I will appear for the exam next year. It’s not a big deal.”

The father's grief is evident as he laments, “Ek saal gaya baabu hamara (A year has been wasted).” To which she reassuringly responds that she will appear for the exam next year and crack it.

The video has since gone viral, sparking an online discussion. While some commented that the aspirants should abide by the rules, others commented on how the scene was heartbreaking.

As reported, parents came along with their daughter for the UPSC Prelims exam today. Their daughter was not allowed for being late. The exam starts at 9: 30 am, and they were at the gate at 9 am but were not allowed in by the principal of S.D. Adarsh Vidyalaya, Sector 47, Gurugram.
