Taking to Twitter, an aspirant appealed to the NTA, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan to postpone the exam elaborating several reasons.
Echoing similar sentiments, a candiate asked, “if you had planned to take the exam in Jan, why did you not inform us back in Sept, why so late? And if this was a impromptu and unplanned decision, that too without considering the student’s situation and just for the sake of normalisation, you are ruining our lives.”
“Dear Authorities, One of the toughest national level exams and only 40 days prior notice?? Pls think a bit about the student’s plight. I hope u will take better decision for students,” wrote engineering aspirant.
