NET hopefuls left high & dry
NEW DELHI: Hundreds of candidates aspiring to sit for UGC's National Eligibility Test on Sunday were in for a rude shock when they were turned away from the examination centre. They had reached Jamia Millia Islamia to take the test at 9.30am on Sunday as indicated on their admit cards. Much to their chagrin, they were informed by Jamia officials that their actual exam venues were spread across the city and the university was only supervising them. They were not allowed to sit for their exams and by then it was too late to rush to their original test centres, some of which were as far as Paschim Vihar, Rohini and Vivek Vihar. They instead protested outside the university with the police standing guard. "Our admit card mentioned our test centre as Jamia succeeded by a code number. So I just headed to the university to take the test like many others. There they told me that my test centre was actually in Vivek Vihar in east Delhi which they had never mentioned before," said
