If you’re living in India, any corner of India, watching stray cows is nothing new for you. And yet, a stray cow left this group of engineering students quite perplexed – because it wasn’t on the streets, but rather right there with them in the classroom.
In a video that is making the rounds of social media, a stray cow can be seen casually strolling into a classroom in IIT-Bombay.

As the cow enters the room and starts strolling around, the students slowly back away from it in fear.

As promised, @BJP4India produces the first cow graduate, and that too from IIT Mumbai. Leave alone Pakistan, even USA and all of Europe can never compete with this. China will now rush to produce their cow graduate. Too bad it won’t be the first ever!!

Is it a ‘moo’t point to ask how the cow made it to the classroom in the first place?
