^ This is BS. You don't write your name at all, just your student id number.

  Also, this is the reason students in their board exams (+2 / Twelfth-grade 
  tests) were forbidden from writing their last name in the answer sheets. 
  Teachers in India openly discriminated against students from other 
  castes/jatis/varnas by giving them lower marks.

Didn't you notice the past tense? Also, this defensiveness without properly reading what I wrote is part of the problem. This maybe BS today, but it wasn't 25-30 years ago.
