The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are renowned for their rigorous academic programs, but a recent viral video reminds us that even the most serious students enjoy a good laugh. Posted by the popular Instagram account “IIT Meme Cell,” the video, titled “Guy Trying to Enter Late in Class at IIT Kanpur,” features a student attempting a discreet entrance into a lecture hall. His quiet entry, however, is quickly noticed by his classmates, who erupt in laughter.
The professor, aware of the commotion, glances over with a knowing smile and asks the class, “Did something else happen that I did not notice?” He continues, “Somebody entered the classroom, is it so?” Just as the tension peaks, the student makes a swift escape, prompting another wave of laughter from the class. The video has garnered over 641,140 likes.
A user named Sai Aditya, claiming to be present during the class, commented, “We are supposed to be inside by 4:05 PM. The instructor jokes about monitoring the doors, and this situation was no different. The whole lecture hall is visible to him, and no one escapes his vision.” Another user shared their own experience, saying, “I used to give attendance for myself and two others in different voice tones whenever they were absent. We’d scoot through the back door after that.”
Many social media users found the video amusing, with comments like “bro deserves better classmates” and “tu bi aisa hi gaddar tha…” The video is a reminder that even amidst demanding academic programs, students at IITs find time for lighthearted moments and laughter.
