There were allegations of irregularities in the NEET exam held on May 5. Two examination centers were selected for NEET exam where 391 students appeared. All of a sudden, a ruckus was created right after the examination began.

Initially, a wrong question paper was given out following which it took 45 minutes for the second paper to be handed out. Examinees alleged they were not given the stipulated extra time and that answer sheets were forcibly taken away from them.

Government Adarsh ​​​​Baalika Higher Secondary School witnessed a huge brawl as candidates and their family members made a hue and cry about cancelling the examination. Meanwhile, in Dantewada, Hindi medium students were given question papers in English paper.

No changes have been made in the exam centers for the comfort of the students. The superintendent and city coordinator of the exam center will be instructed privately to ensure smooth conduction of the exam on June 23.
