Clarification Released by the NTA

The clarification by the NTA has been given below:

 NTA says, "The UGC NET exam started a bit late at Nitin Girls Senior Secondary High School, Jaipur at 9:15 am when 174 candidates successfully logged in. The examination was however disrupted at around 9:30 am by some unscrupulous elements. The electricity supply to some of the rooms was snapped by these elements & amidst the commotion thus created, the examination has to be stopped and the Police had to be called in. Additional Observer was also rushed to the spot to assess the situation.

Finally, the exam started peacefully at 11:15 am and all the candidates were given full three hours to take the examination once it was started. Some candidates opted to appear in the second shift in the same centre.

As a proactive measure, seeing the sensitivity of the situation, NTA arranged for the examination of candidates of second shift at other Jaipur centres. NTA also arranged for buses for candidates to be carried to other Jaipur centres from this centre. 

Forensic analysis of the answers submitted by the candidates will be done by the NTA before declaring their results. Also, an FIR is being filed against the miscreants who tried to disrupt the examination. A Committee, including cyber security experts, has also been deputed by the NTA to ascertain the other attendant facts. Meanwhile, till the time the Report of the Committee is received, the Centre in question will not be used for any NTA examinations.

It is to reiterate that NTA stands committed to highest standards of professionalism in conduct of the exams."
