You thought you got into 8th sem: Professor saw in zone bengaluru tech 6 years later replied in viral chat

Social media was laughing out loud after a Bengaluru-based software engineer shared an unexpected conversation with his former maths professor. Neil Agarwal, now a professional coder, posted screenshots of their exchanges over the years on X (formerly Twitter), proving that some professors never forget their students or their math files.

The post began with the self-deprecating statement, “You still think I’m a failure.” From April 2018, a snapshot of the conversation is provided, starting with messages Neil sent to his professor during his first year in college.

In one message, Neil asked, “Ma’am, this is Neil from A1, FE. Do you accept accounting documents today? ” The professor replied angrily, “Just signing. Another post that day read, “Ma’am, did you go to college today? We want to import our files. This time there was no response.

Fast forward to 2024—three years after Neil’s graduation—when the professor suddenly asks, “Neil, did you go to college today?” He sent them a message.

A confused Neil replied, “What does this refer to? In the year I passed in 2021. ” The professor’s response? “Well, I thought you were in 8th grade.”

The internet loved it. “Spelling your name wrong was a compound insult,” joked one user. Another said: “This is so funny!” he shouted. One commenter even shared his own story: “A relative asked me about my board results…. When I was a third-year engineering student,” he says.

For many, the post evoked memories of teacher-student exchanges. As one user put it, “There’s a reason some people don’t delete old chats. Gems like these are worth the hoard!

Another user shared a similar experience, “Last year a final year faculty called me and said that project deadline is approaching and I have not submitted my project yet. Another Anurag. They wanted to call me but they took my number. Salvation.”

Similarly, the fourth user wrote, “When I was a 3rd year student in engineering, a relative asked me for the ki beta temhara board from the result kaisa rah es bar.”

Neil’s post highlights the irony of student life long after graduation. It’s a reminder that some interactions—with wrong accounting files or wrong timelines—can remain timelessly funny.
