Admit Card Not Granted Due to Fees, Student Depressed for Not Taking Exam

A student in Uttar Pradesh faced severe anxiety and depression after a private school withheld his admit card due to unpaid fees, preventing him from taking his board exams.

In a shocking incident from Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, a student named Anshuman Tripathi was denied his admit card for the 12th board examinations by his private school due to a month's unpaid fees. This incident has raised serious questions regarding the practices of private educational institutions in the region.

When Anshuman approached his school to collect his admit card, he was turned away and sent back home without it, leading to a significant deterioration in his mental health. Upon returning home, he exhibited signs of anxiety and distress, ultimately requiring hospitalization. The school’s decision not only robbed him of exam participation but also had a considerable impact on his psychological well-being.

The situation escalated to the point where Anshuman’s father has publicly condemned the school for their harsh measures and lack of compassion toward students facing financial hardships. This incident not only highlights the serious implications of educational institutions enforcing strict payment policies but also brings attention to the mental health issues that can arise from such situations, emphasizing the need for more supportive measures for students in need.
