Despite her reassurances, her father says that a year has been wasted. To this, she replies, "It’s not a big deal. I am still young." 

In the video it can be seen that both the father and daughter attempt to console the mother, who refuses to leave the exam centre, saying, "I won’t leave."

The user who shared the video X wrote that the incident reportedly occurred at S.D. Adarsh Vidyalaya, Sector 47, Gurugram. The user said, "Heartbreaking video. Condition of Parents who came along with their daughter for the UPSC Prelims exam today, as their daughter was not allowed for being late. Exam starts at 9:30 am, and they were at the gate at 9 am but were not allowed in by the principal."
