The DC said the administration was prepared to conduct the NEET re-examination in a peaceful and transparent manner. Shahabad Sub-divisional Magistrate Shambhu Rathi has been appointed as a nodal officer for the exam in the district.
He informed that the NEET (UG) exam will be held on June 21 from 2 pm to 5.15 pm.
Candidates will be allowed entry into the centers between 11 am and 1.30 pm after which the entry gates will be closed. He mentioned that the agency concerned has arranged for biometric verification and separate frisking counters have been established for male and female candidates. There will be one security frisking counter for every 100 candidates and one biometric device for every 48 candidates.
Besides, CCTV cameras, jammers and other necessary equipment have been installed at all examination centres. He further noted that the jammers would be activated at 1.45 pm on the day of the exam to ensure there is no interference with the biometric verification process.
The DC said accommodation arrangements had been made in dharamshalas for the candidates and their parents arriving for the exam.
Additionally, arrangements for electric buses have also been made.
Parents said their kids were under immense pressure due to NEET re-exam.
A father of an aspirant, who works in the Health Department, said, “Not only the children but the parents are also under stress. A sense of uncertainty has prevailed. The children were relaxed after the examination but after the re-examination was announced, the aspirants were forced to restart the preparations.”
Another parent said, “The children are going through a tough time and they have isolated themselves. They are afraid that they might not be able to score good marks due to broken momentum.”
