It's reassuring to see strict security measures, especially in cities like Delhi, Indore, and Mangalore. But I still wonder why we need a re-examination at all? The original exam had issues, and now students are stressed again. Hope the system becomes foolproof soon. 🤞
Good work by Uttarakhand Police! But why only now? The whole NEET controversy has been dragging on for months. Students like my cousin have been preparing for this re-exam under so much pressure. At least the control room will help monitor things in real-time. Let's hope no more scandals. 😤
The security is impressive – chains being removed, papers transported under guard, and zonal monitoring in Indore. But I wish they had this level of care during the original exam. Many students missed out on seats because of that mess. Still, better late than never I suppose. 😅
As a medical aspirant from Delhi, I'm relieved that centres like CM Shri School have heightened security. The control room in Uttarakhand is a good initiative, but the real test is whether they can prevent any last-minute glitches. All the best to everyone appearing! 💪
Respect to the police for taking this seriously, but I'm still worried about the logistics. 5,440 centres across 551 cities is massive. Will every centre have the same level of vigilance? The Mangalore centre seems well-prepared, but I hope smaller towns are also covered. 🤔
