The photo has garnered over 6000 likes and more than 500 retweets. A user while reacting to the picture called it a wonderful sight. Another user while commending the students said, “I am not able to read even at home."

Studying in this way is worthy of praise, said Karti P Chidambaram, Congress leader and son of ex-Finance Minister P Chidambaram. However he targeted the Bihar government over the picture. "While it shows the drive & determination of young India, it also exposes the failure of the state. And don’t romanticize poverty. Nothing cool about poverty. It’s cruel, " Karti wrote.
