After NEET-PG, AIIMS re-exam hit by glitches at same Jaipur centre

After NEET-PG, AIIMS re-exam hit by glitches at same Jaipur centre

Technical problems disrupted an AIIMS recruitment re-examination at a Jaipur centre on Monday, leading to a protest by candidates, according to police. The institute has canceled the exam at the affected centre and will conduct a new test after a few days, stated Sanganer Sadar SHO Kamlesh Kumar. The glitch occurred at the iON Digital Zone examination centre in Sitapura, where AIIMS was hosting the re-examination for Group B and Group C non-academic posts under CRE-5.

Despite the scheduled exam time being from 9 am to noon, it began about 30 minutes late due to technical issues, with the server crashing shortly after the test began. The situation worsened with power outages, causing further disturbances for the candidates. In response, candidates left the examination hall and staged a protest, voicing their frustration over the poor handling of the examination.

The Jaipur centre had previously experienced technical difficulties during the NEET-PG 2026 examination on Sunday, when a server outage caused computer screens to repeatedly stop working, prompting candidates to leave and protest outside the centre. The NBEMS announced a make-up exam for affected candidates on September 5 at 3 pm in Jaipur at two iON Digital Zone centres in Sitapura, citing internal power failure issues at centres 41,682 and 41,683, caused by M/s TCS Ltd.

Afrikaans ministers who proved it’s never too late for reconciliation

Danie Rosslee and EG Fourie were not early opponents of apartheid. Perhaps that is precisely why we should remember what happened when they changed.

  • Danie Rosslee, former conservative minister, supported Willie Jonker's apartheid confession in 1990.
  • EG Fourie, conservative minister, acknowledged his church's slow path to reconciliation in 2014.
  • Both ministers exemplify that reconciliation is possible despite past opposition.
