He explained that city intimation slips were issued on June 7, while admit cards were released on June 14. The NTA has already contacted the candidate and begun looking into the circumstances that led to the incorrect allotment.
According to Singh, one possible reason being examined is whether the candidate’s account credentials may have been compromised.
“Some candidates do not adequately secure their account passwords, which can sometimes lead to such issues,” he said.
The Director General added that the investigation would take time, but the Agency’s first priority was ensuring that the student did not miss the re-examination.
“The immediate priority was to ensure that the student was able to appear for the examination. The inquiry into the matter will continue alongside.”
A GLITCH THAT RAISED CONCERNS
The incident came to light after the student’s admit card showed an examination centre in Abu Dhabi despite him being a resident of Nagpur.
A Nagpur-based NEET UG candidate has allegedly been allotted an examination centre in Abu Dhabi for the upcoming re-exam, raising fresh concerns over exam management. The last-minute allotment had left the student, Abdullah, and his family distressed, especially with only a day remaining before the test. Notably, he had appeared at a centre in Nagpur during the previous examination.
The student did not even possess a passport, making it impossible for him to travel overseas for the examination. The case quickly gained attention on social media, with students questioning how such an error could occur in one of the country’s biggest entrance examinations.
