Come March and it is the exam season. And the first day of the exams, students are running against time, doing last-minute revisions and trying to reach their exam centre as soon as possible. And when someone helps in such a chaotic situation, then it is enough to make a student's day.

Such an incident was witnessed by a Twitter user in Mumbai where he saw a police officer helping a student appearing for the board exams to reach her centre on time. The user, Rahul Rautt in a series of tweets narrated the incident which was retweeted by Mumbai Police.

"Witnessed the sweetest, kindest act today," said Rautt in a tweet where he went on to say, "At Khat Station there's always a long queue for Rickshaws. A few students nervously waited while going through their notes. You know how last minute glances like these are important."

Then he said that a cop saw a student in the queue, going through her notes and asking her if she is appearing for board exams today. When she nodded, the cop asked her to step out of the line and stopped an auto rickshaw for her. He then sent her away and wished her good luck for the exams.

A screenshot of the tweets were shared by the Mumbai Police on Twitter, wishing the best of luck for the students appearing for their SSC board exams, in which they wrote in the caption, "First day of exam has its own share of challenges. We are happy to have been able to help a student in overcoming at least one of them!"

The kind gesture by the cop was appreciated by many users on Twitter.

The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) which is the Maharashtra state's board exams for Class 10, began on March 3.
