Slow wall clock at centre in Nagpur hit performance: NEET-UG candidate

NAGPUR: Days after the NEET-UG Exam was held across the country, a girl candidate has alleged that a faulty wall clock in the exam room adversely affected the performance of students. She also accused officials of forcing her and other students to mention a time which was beyond the schedule at the time of OMR sheet submission. Late submission is likely to result in poor performance scores.

The complaint submitted to National Testing Agency (NTA) says Anagha Jaiswal appeared for her NEET at Delhi Public School (DPS), Kamptee, in room number 24 on July 17. “The wall clock of this room lagged behind during the exams by almost 20 minutes. Our OMR sheet was collected by the invigilator at 5.05 pm as per the wall clock. However, the students were made to write 5.22pm during submission. The invigilator and the management did not understand the magnitude of the delay and failed to change the clock or inform the children,” she said.
