A major administrative lapse was reported from Jaipur during the NEET-PG examination when power went out at the Sitapura-based ION Digital Zone exam center right in the middle of the test. Since this was a computer-based examination, the sudden blackout caused all systems to shut down completely. This disruption resulted in a severe waste of valuable time for the candidates, triggering widespread anger and leading to intense protests at the facility.
311 Candidates Affected at the Sitapura Venue
A total of 311 candidates were taking their examination at this particular center in Sitapura. Because the test relied entirely on digital infrastructure, the sudden loss of electricity paralyzed the entire operation and threw the venue into utter confusion. This technical glitch and unexpected chaos caused deep distress among the aspirants, who grew anxious about their future prospects and raised slogans against the mismanagement.
Over 8,000 Aspirants Across 15 Centers in Jaipur
Reports indicate that the examination was being conducted across a total of 15 designated centers throughout Jaipur. A grand total of 8,370 candidates from the city participated in this academic drive. The exam timings were scheduled from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. While the process ran peacefully at other locations across the city, the sudden power cut at the Sitapura facility cast serious doubts on the infrastructural preparedness of the authorities. Immediate steps were subsequently initiated to control the situation and manage the affected test session.
