NEET UG student takes OMR sheet from exam centre in Jhunjhunu
Jhunjhunu: An exam coordinator has sought a written explanantion from the superintendent of a centre that hosted the NEET (UG) exam in Jhunjhunu, after one student left the centre with the OMR sheet that should have been submitted following the test on Sunday. The case pertains to the Piru Singh Govt Senior Secondary School in Jhunjhunu city, where Jamna Jhajharia was the centre superintendent. Monika, a student from Nangli, who took the exam there, took a blue copy of the OMR sheet with her instead of submitting it to the invigilator. After the exam ended, when the original and office copies of the OMR sheets were counted, one office copy (blue OMR) was found missing. Investigation revealed that the blue copy with roll number 3918105053 was missing. The search for the candidate began, but by then, the student had left Jhunjhunu. A contact was established with her family, and she was brought back from near Ked in the Gudha area. Later, the carbon copy was submitted. Errors have been occurring in exams held in the district over the past four months. Earlier this year, on Feb 2, the RAS pre-exam was conducted. At a centre in the Nawalgarh area, the paper bag was opened in the control room instead of the exam hall, leading to a commotion among candidates, with nine boycotting the exam. The investigation report found the centre superintendent and two observers guilty, and a show-cause notice was issued. Then, on March 23, the EO-RO recruitment exam was held, during which a violation of RPSC guidelines was reported at a centre on Road Number Two in the city. In this exam, candidates were allowed entry three minutes after the scheduled gate closure time of 11 AM. In this case, the SP found six police officers guilty and suspended them, but they were later reinstated. Two invigilators suspended Jhunjhunu: Two invigilators of NEET UG 2025 conducted at the exam centre at Piru Singh Govt Senior Secondary School in Jhunjhunu city were placed under suspension with immediate effect by district collector Ramavatar Meena for alleged negligence following the directives of National Testing Agency (NTA). As per NTA, the two invigilators—lecturers Urmila from Govt Senior Secondary School, Nayas, and Rajpal Singh from Govt Senior Secondary School, Dumra—violated points 12, 16 and 24 of Chapter-13 of the NTA guidelines dealing with confidentiality and fairness of the exam. tnn

NEET conducted smoothly across 13 centres in city amid tight vigil
Ludhiana: The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) was conducted smoothly across 13 govt schools and colleges in Ludhiana Sunday, with 4,341 candidates appearing for it. Out of a total of 4,490 registered candidates, 141 remained absent. The exam was held from 2pm to 5pm amid tight security. Police personnel were stationed at all centres to ensure proper verification and discipline. Students were allowed to enter the centres only after a thorough scrutiny of their admit cards and identification documents. The largest examination centre in the city was Govt College for Girls, where 600 students were allotted seats. Of these, 580 appeared for the test. Other centres included Govt Model Senior Secondary School Cemetery Road, Govt Meritorious School, Govt Senior Secondary School Haibowal Khurd, Govt Senior Secondary School for Boys Jawahar Nagar, School of Eminence Model Town, School of Eminence Sector 32, Govt Senior Secondary School PAU, Govt Senior Secondary School Multipurpose, Govt Girls Senior Secondary School Gill, Ghumman Senior Secondary School Ayali Khurd, and Kendriya Vidyalaya Baddowal. Parents stood outside the centres as there was strict checking by the police. Most of the candidates were let in before 1pm after checking. As there was no seating arrangements or drinking facilities at or outside most of the centres, the long wait turned arduous for the parents and those accompanying the candidates. "There should have been at least some basic arrangements like chairs or water dispensers. Parents had to stand for hours in this heat," said Aman, whose sister was taking the exam at the School of Eminence in Sector 32. Adding to the discomfort, rain lashed parts of the city in the evening, forcing some parents to take shelter under trees and others at bus stops. Despite the challenges, the overall conduct of the exam was reported to be peaceful. Students found the paper to be tougher than expected. "The chemistry and physics sections were like JEE level, very tricky and time-consuming," said a candidate at the PAU centre. "Biology was lengthy but manageable," another candidate said.
