ITI students asked to solve 3-hrs question paper in just 50 minutes

Aurangabad, March 30:

The students of the first year of ITI were asked to solve the question paper of three hours in 50 minutes at one of the city's examination centres on Tuesday.

According to details, the ITI-Mechanical trade first years reached the centres to take an online examination in the afternoon. The timing of the paper was from 2 pm to 5 pm.

The students started writing the paper at 2 pm.

However, there was a power failure at 2.25 pm at the centre.

The invigilator asked the students to submit their answer book online within 20 minutes. The students were confused about how to solve the three hours papers in such a short time. When they asked for a reason, they were informed that their computers' power back would end the next 20 minutes and after that, they cannot submit the online answer book. Students were forced to complete the question paper in the next 20 minutes and shut down the computer.

When students wanted the reason from the centre administration, nobody from ITI was available. The examinees were forced to leave the centre and its gate was locked. The students feel that they might fail in the paper and demanded to cancel the examination. “The Centre should make arrangement of a generator when they know that students are taking the online examination. We were forced to complete the paper in just 50 minutes,” they said.
