POWER OUTAGE DISRUPTS NEET PG EXAM
According to candidates present at the Sitapura centre, the power failure affected the computer systems required to conduct the examination. As a result, the test could not start at the scheduled time.
Candidates said they approached officials at the examination centre to seek information about the issue and the expected resolution. However, they alleged that they were not given a satisfactory response.
The lack of clarity has added to the frustration among candidates, many of whom had arrived at the centre well in advance after months of preparation for the postgraduate medical entrance examination.
CANDIDATES SEEK ANSWERS FROM NTA
Candidates also alleged that they did not receive satisfactory information from the National Testing Agency (NTA) regarding the technical problem or the next steps.
With the exam already delayed, candidates are concerned about how the disruption could affect their performance and the subsequent examination process. Aspirants have been preparing for NEET PG for months, making any uncertainty on the day of the exam particularly stressful.
Several candidates are now demanding clear communication from the examination authorities and appropriate action for those affected by the technical glitch.
OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION AWAITED
Candidates at the Sitapura centre are currently awaiting an official update on the commencement of the examination and the further course of action.
An official clarification from the examination agency regarding the power outage, the delayed start and the arrangements for affected candidates is awaited.
The situation is expected to become clearer once the examination authorities issue an official statement on the disruption and explain how the affected candidates will be accommodated.
