NEET: Aspirant issued wrong hall ticket, barred entry

She was issued two admission cards (hall tickets) with glaring errors and without a valid random number. 

The girl, Jeevitha, a native of Rasipuram in Namakkal district, was allotted a private college on the Kondalampatty Bypass Road in Salem. 

When Jeevitha came to the exam hall with two admission cards, the supervising officials checked it and refused her entry. 

Following this, an altercation broke out and the exam supervisors inspected her hall tickets and found that the random number in her hall ticket didn’t match that in their list. 

The officials, however, told her that the random number in her admission card matched with the list of an exam centre at Kollam in Kerala. 

After a heated exchange of words, the family members of the girl and other parents attempted to block the Salem-Namakkal Road. However, police intervened and pacified the agitated people. 

Similarly, confusion prevailed at a centre in Salem, where students who opted for Tamil, were issued question papers in Hindi and English. The muddle led to delay of several hours as around 195 students wrote their exam from 1 pm to 4 pm after receiving the question papers in Tamil. 

In Coimbatore, a medical aspirant fainted as he mistakenly wrote a wrong admission card number in the examination. The boy, Sabari, who took his test at a centre in Meena Estate, became panicky after he wrote a wrong number. 

Though the exam supervisor asked him to strike it out and write the correct number, Sabari fainted. He was immediately rushed to a hospital in an ambulance. 

In another incident, Rohini, 39, who was waiting for her son near an exam centre at Vellalore fainted as she apparently didn’t eat her breakfast while rushing to the centre. She regained consciousness after being treated at a primary health centre.
