The seven students giving their examinations from the Tlao-tla hilltop on Tuesday.
AIZAWL: Seven undergraduate students of a remote village in south Mizoram s Siaha district bordering Myanmar on Tuesday appeared for their online semester examinations from a hilltop due to poor internet connectivity in their hamlet.
The students, all from Mawhrei village, were compelled to trek 5 km on a jungle track to reach the Tlao-tla hill as there is no motorable road. Compared to Mawhrei, the place has better Net connectivity.
The Mara Students Organisation (MSO) constructed a makeshift hut using timber, bamboo and plantain leaves to help the students appear for the exam. They received the questions on email which they accessed through their smart phones.
