Students of Bihar's BSc Nursing and BPharma courses received zero marks in the recent exam results, prompting protests across colleges.
The latest result announcement for BSc Nursing and BPharma programmes in Bihar showed a number of candidates awarded zero marks, a finding that has ignited widespread anger among students. The unexpected grading sparked immediate gatherings outside several affiliated colleges, where students demanded clarification and a review of the evaluation process.
Student unions reported that the zero scores were issued without any detailed breakdown, leading many to suspect a technical glitch or administrative oversight. In response, protestors staged sit‑ins, held placards, and blocked entry to campus offices, urging the state education department to intervene.
Authorities from the Bihar School Examination Board have acknowledged the complaints and said a verification committee will be formed to examine the grading data. They have promised to release a detailed statement within the next 48 hours, while also assuring that any genuine errors will be rectified and affected students will be given appropriate re‑evaluation.
Meanwhile, the protests remain largely peaceful, though a few incidents of minor disruption were reported. Educational institutions have temporarily suspended classes in the affected colleges to ensure safety and to facilitate dialogue between officials and the aggrieved students.
