The incident occurred on Thursday, 16 April, 2026 morning at Ilaramokin Junction, where the deceased had accompanied her daughter to sit for the examination.
Eyewitnesses said she waited nearby while the candidate was inside the exam hall when she suddenly felt weak, collapsed, and died at the scene before help could arrive.
