    Digital Desk: For someone with social anxiety, just moving through a crowded room can be difficult, let alone what happened to a student at a Bihar board exam centre in Nalanda when he reportedly found himself among "500 girls."

    Manish Shankar Prasad, 17, from Allama Iqbal College in Bihar Sharif, went to the Brilliant Convention School in Sundergarh on Wednesday to sit his mathematics exam when he learned he was the "only male" in a room full of 5,000 ladies and collapsed, according to ANI.

    Prasad's aunt stated, "He was alone with about 500 girls at the exam centre, which led him to pass out and work up a temperature, and he was rushed to Sadar Hospital for medical evaluation by ambulance."

    A trending video on Twitter shows the student appears to be in recovery mode after the "traumatic" event.


    According to Sachchidanand, father of Prasad, he became conscious "a few hours later," as reported by India TV.

    It makes sense that a group of young, ambitious ladies would be scared by the school administration if it stood in their way of getting an exam.

    On February 1, a group of females who were running late for their Nalanda board exam reportedly were turned away from the Bihar board exam site and hopped over the pointed wrought-iron gate to enter KST College.

    This year, about 13 lakh class 12 students from 1,464 centres spread across 36 districts, including 6,36,432 girls and 6,81795 boys, are expected to "appear" for the Bihar Board Intermediate Examination.
