LUCKNOW: Videos of some students of APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) making a mockery of trials and demo mock tests went viral on social media on Friday under #ThisisAKTUMockTest. The final mock tests are scheduled from Monday. While students can be seen taking the demo mock test in ‘Halloween’ makeup with a wig and scary visage, some can be seen dancing to the number — ‘Saiyan ne dekha aise, ki main pani pani ho gayi. In other videos, boys can also be seen taking the test in a vest.
In the first video, a student copied hand movements of actor Jackeline Fernandes, who features in a popular Hindi rap, and is seen making funny sounds with hand moves.
The screen of AKTU demo-mock trials is visible in the background of videos, which was shared by varsity students.
“Many students of our class have given the exam wearing a vest and circulated their videos on Whatsapp groups. Also during the demo, whistles and funny sounds were recorded and circulated,” said B.Tech (mechanical) student Abhinav Singh.
AKTU spokesperson Asheesh Mishra said, “Since it was a demo mock test, we did not impose curbs on students. This was just a trial run. During the main examination, students won’t be allowed to appear if not dressed properly. Also, strict online invigilation will maintain decorum. Indiscipline can debar them from the examination.”
