Jaipur: Tension and confusion gripped the Prabha Devi Memorial examination centre in Jaipur during the RPMC examination after candidates alleged that question papers were distributed late to several students, triggering protests and unrest on the campus.
According to accounts circulating on social media, candidates seated on the ground floor reportedly received their question papers on time and began writing the examination as scheduled. However, students on the second and third floors claimed they were left waiting for an extended period despite repeatedly approaching examination staff for the papers.
The alleged delay sparked concerns among candidates, with some social media users linking the incident to speculation surrounding a possible paper leak. However, no official confirmation regarding any such leak was immediately available.
As frustration mounted, students staged protests inside the examination centre, alleging irregularities in the distribution process and claiming that all candidates were not treated equally during the conduct of the examination.
Several social media posts also alleged that some students were required to take the examination under temporary tented arrangements. Candidates described the situation as being marred by multiple administrative lapses and questioned the overall management of the examination process.
The growing discontent soon escalated into chaos, with reports suggesting that agitated students damaged parts of the examination centre premises. Scenes of disorder unfolded on the campus as candidates demanded explanations from the authorities over the alleged delay and other irregularities.
Officials had not released a detailed statement on the incident at the time of reporting. Authorities are expected to examine the allegations and assess whether any procedural lapses occurred during the conduct of the examination.
The incident has once again highlighted concerns over examination management and the need for robust administrative arrangements to ensure a smooth and transparent process for candidates.
