Girl who took exam lying in ambulance scores 71.6%

MUMBAI: Lying in an ambulance and having a class IX student write her exam papers was not easy. But Mubashshira Sayyed, who met with an accident while returning home after her Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams in March, managed to secure 71.6%.
"I was expecting over 75% but after the accident I was in tremendous pain. But I am glad that I wrote the exam, else I would have wasted a year," said the student of Anjuman Islam school in Bandra.
TOI had on March 21 reported about Sayyed who took three of her exams lying in an ambulance parked in the compound of St Stanislaus School in Bandra.
A car had gone over her foot when she was crossing the road. She was rushed to Holy Family Hospital in Bandra where she was operated on the same day. As doctors advised complete bed rest, an ambulance was arrested to take her to the exam centre and back.
The school was swift in arranging a writer and ambulance for the teenager.
Sayyed said that her writer, Noorsaba Ansari, was also delighted to learn about her score.
