The move left aspirants, who don't have original copies of identity proof with them, in a fix. "I stay in a rented room near a coaching institute here and I don't have the original copy of the Aadhaar card or voter ID card with me here.
Candidates who have wrong names or photographs on their admit cards for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) scheduled for today, have been directed to carry "original'' Aadhaar Card or any Government photo identity along with them.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a notification on Friday saying, "Some candidates have filled in NEET online form with the help of cyber cafe owners. While uploading photograph and signature, the cyber cafe person has uploaded the wrong photograph/signature. This has come to their notice when the candidates downloaded the admit card. Such candidates are directed to carry any original government photo identity card along with them."
The move left aspirants, who don't have original copies of identity proof with them, in a fix. "I stay in a rented room near a coaching institute here and I don't have the original copy of the Aadhaar card or voter ID card with me here.
I filled my NEET form online and when I downloaded my admit card the picture did not come clear. So, it becomes compulsory for me to carry the original copy," said 19-year-old Pushkar Singh, who hails from Uttar Pradesh.
Similarly, Vandana Singh, another aspirant who doesn't have an original copy of her Aadhaar card was also anxious about her exam. "I don't keep the original Aadhaar card with me as I had already lost it once. Now suddenly the board has made it mandatory. I don't know what to do," said the 18-year-old resident of Uttrakhand.
Earlier, the CBSE had issued a dress code for the candidates. While male students are not allowed to wear kurta-pyjama or shoes, for females, brooches, and high heels are prohibited. The candidates have also been directed not to carry any writing material. A total of 11,35,104 candidates will appear for NEET in 103 cities across the country on Sunday.
