No classroom, just an open road

The video has caught attention because of the unusual setting. There are no proper classrooms, benches or desks. Instead, the roadside has been turned into a temporary exam hall.

Despite the noise and movement around them, the students appear focused on their papers. For many viewers, the scene is both surprising and concerning.

Mixed reactions on social media

The video has led to strong reactions online. Some users expressed concern over the lack of basic facilities. They pointed out that while the country talks about smart classrooms and digital learning, many students still study in such conditions.

One comment described it as a place 'where open air is the classroom'. Another said it shows that many parts of the country are still far behind when it comes to education infrastructure.
