New Delhi: Due to a power failure at a centre during the Ayurvedic PG entrance examination conducted by the NTA, students could not take their paper. Seeing the chaos in the administration, the students who came to take the exam got angry. This exam was computer-based. The students who were deprived of the examination protested against the administrative system.
Considering the problem of the students, NTA has cancelled the examination at this centre and issued a new date for the candidates. Now the examination will be conducted again on 1st September. This examination will be conducted at Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women, Jaipur. Due to a power cut, 49 students could not take the exam, which enraged everyone.
Computers shut down suddenly.
Candidates are gathering for the examination being conducted under the leadership of NTA. Dr Sudha Sharma, who came to take the examination, has given important information. He said that the exam time was from 10 am to 12 noon on Saturday. 20 minutes after the exam started, suddenly the computers of many students switched off automatically.
He said that the exam invigilator told us that the lights had gone out due to a short circuit. The lights would come on after some time, but it did not happen. Meanwhile, supervisor Dr Harshita Sachdeva said that there was some problem in the power supply; that is why half of the computers suddenly shut down.
Don’t know how half the computers were working. Sometimes the power supply was coming; sometimes it was going. That’s why some computers were not working. This matter was taken seriously by NTA, and NTA has cancelled the examination.
The system stopped as soon as the power went out.
According to the students who took the exam, the exam started at the scheduled time of 10 am. The examination was to be conducted by 12 noon. There was a power cut just 25 minutes after the exam started. Due to this, along with the lights going out, the computers suddenly stopped working. For some time, the students waited for the college to make arrangements to generate electricity, but it did not happen. A generator was not kept in the college. For this reason, students could not give this examination.
NTA cancelled the exam
After missing the paper, the students started creating a ruckus, due to which the police force also reached the spot. Seeing the commotion, observers of the examination centre also reached the spot. He conveyed the plight of the candidates to the higher authorities and recommended cancelling the exam as per the demand of the candidates.
The decision to cancel the exam was taken at a high level. The invigilator told the candidates that their future would not be played with, because the examination had been completely cancelled.
