Some days ago a niece appearing for the NEET entrance went out shopping for clothes and I was a bit wonderstruck by her remark about shopping to sit for an exam. I tried hard to recollect if I had any such indulgences when I was appearing for competitive exams several years ago and failed to recollect any such act. The only thing before entrance exams that bothered me were the repeated reminders on what all I had to carry for the exam, including the admit card by my parents. I looked up to check all the fuss over an entrance exam dress code.
