Why was the NEET PG exam cancelled?
The NEET PG exam could not be completed at the iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura centres (TC Nos. 41682 and 41683) in Jaipur due to an internal power failure. Candidates created a significant uproar after the power went out during the exam. Candidates alleged that the exam could not start on time due to technical glitches.
