  "account": "Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), criticized the Bombay High Court clerk recruitment typing test, alleging \"irregularities\" due to faulty computer equipment and technical issues. Students reported that some mice were not working, while others had faulty keyboards. Within ten minutes, the majority of students were logged out and subsequently declared failed. Dipke accused the authorities of lacking the \"sense to take an exam properly\" and questioned the purpose of holding online exams when the infrastructure was inadequate. He emphasized that this was not the first time such issues had occurred in online exams across the country and Maharashtra. Students staged a protest demanding a re-exam due to the technical difficulties that disrupted the test. Dipke joined the protest in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, remaining with the students. The Director of Sornet ITE Genus Private Limited, Sanjay Wankhede, clarified that the keyboards at the exam center were new and that the facility had the necessary resources. However, the printing system faced a minor issue, which would be resolved soon.",
