In order to secure a seat in one of the leading medical colleges, candidates prepare their best to crack the NEET exam. With doubt and anxiety in their minds, lakhs of applicants took the NEET 2020 across the country on Sunday. In Telangana, 55,800 students had enrolled for the medical entrance test. Hundreds of students faced operational issues at some examination centres due to the change in their allotted centres at the eleventh hour. The National Testing Agency (NTA) had on Friday announced changes in some centres in different parts of the country for ensuring implementation of Covid-19 guidelines.

The NTA had declared that the applicants had been informed about the shift in centres through SMS and email. Nevertheless, at least 500 students, who arrived at Vidya Dayani College of Information and Technology, Mallapur, as well as at Vignana Jyothi Public School, Madhuranagar, were dismayed when informed about the change in their centres. They then realised that their new centres were in Gachibowli, Rajendra Nagar and Golconda respectively.

Another example of an operational failure came to light when a student, who arrived at her designated centre in Hanamkonda near Warangal, after travelling for at least four hours, was notified by the institution that they were not conducting the exam there. This happened even though her registration form clearly mentioned the name of that institute. The student has registered a police complaint demanding that she be allowed to take the test again or be allotted a medical seat.
