" I LOST A YEAR " - NEET ASPIRANT

'I lost a year'-Bihar boy travels 700 kms, misses NEET by 10 minutes

National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) examinee Santosh Kumar Yadav, a resident of Darbhanga in Bihar travelled for more than 24 hours to cover a distance of 700 kms to reach the examination centre at a school in Salt Lake, a township located to the east of Kolkata. Unfortunately he was not allowed to enter as he was late by just 10 minutes .

 On his way to KOLKATA, Santosh had to interchange two buses. In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, NEET candidates have been requested to report at the examination centre almost three hours earlier than the exam, for safety and health checks.

“I requested the authorities but they said I was late and denied permission. The examination started at 2 pm. I reached the centre around 1.40 pm. The gate closing time of  centre was 1.30 pm,” Yadav told a local television channel. “I lost a year," he added.

             

Describing his ordeal, the scholar said, “I boarded a bus at Darbhanga at 8 am on Saturday to attain Muzaffarpur. From there I took a bus to Patna however there was a traffic jam on the route and I acquired delayed by means of nearly six hours.”

“At 9 pm I took another bus from Patna . The bus dropped me near Sealdah station (in Kolkata) at 1.06 pm. A taxi brought me to the examination centre,” said Yadav.

    The Entrance Exam test in a seething pandemic in the nation has involved discussion. Activists, understudies and pioneers of the few ideological groups had contradicted the test dreading the security of the studies. Floods and absence of transport because of lockdown limitations in a few paces added to the burdens of the understudies.
