Student paraglides to exam venue to reach on time.

With only 15-20 minutes left before the exam began, Mahangade decided to paraglide to reach his exam venue instead of getting stuck in traffic for hours. In the viral clip, he is seen soaring through the sky with his college bag, ready to make a dramatic entrance at his exam centre. As per a report on NDTV, Samarth was in Panchgani to run errands on the day of his exam. Realising he only had 15-20 minutes left to get to the centre, he decided to take the paragliding route to avoid the heavy traffic on the Wai-Panchgani road, especially in the Pasarani Ghat section.

An adventure expert arranged everything for Mahangade.

An adventure sports expert, Govind Yewale from GP Adventures in Panchgani, came up with the solution. With his team, he arranged everything for Mahangade to fly over the traffic. This allowed him to reach the exam venue on time. He landed safely near his college.
