A Bihar teacher is making waves on the internet with his creative “Ninja technique” for OMR sheet checking, a method that has left everyone amazed. With the exam season coming to close, students are waiting anxiously for their results, but teachers have the arduous task of marking thousands of answer sheets. When it comes to objective-type tests, marking OMR sheets is a time-consuming task, sometimes taking hours or even days. However one teacher has discovered how to make the whole process quicker, and a video showing his technique has gone viral on social media.
The video reportedly shot in a Bihar school, shows a teacher at work as he checks several OMR sheets. Rather than checking each sheet individually, which can consume a lot of time, the teacher uses a trick.
In the clip, he takes out a tiny cutout of an OMR sheet that has holes placed where the correct answer would be. As he puts every student’s OMR sheet below the cutout, he rapidly checks whether the bubbles marked by the student match the holes. If the filled circle is the same as the hole, the answer is correct; otherwise, it is marked as incorrect. This simple yet effective trick allows the teacher to assess a sheet in just a few seconds.
The clip, uploaded by a user called @pintu on Instagram, soon became viral and currently has over 2.9 million views. In the caption, the instructor discloses that when he first started checking OMR sheets, it used to be time-consuming. However, with his “Ninja technique,” now he can go through the work without any problems.
