So why this question has been raised and what is the significance of using right Pen in the Examination Hall. Can it determine your marks?

Dilip has done his preparation very well compared to Debashish, whereas Debashish could not. But in the examination hall, during 3 hours of writing mains paper, the fancy Pen which Dilip used became showing dryness in ink and he panicked.
