The UGC NET Examination scheduled for March 3, started a bit late at Nitin Girls Senior Secondary School, Jaipur at 9.15 am when 174 candidates successfully logged in, the National Testing Agency (NTA) said in an official statement.

According to the statement, finally, the examination started peacefully at 11.15 am and all the candidates were given full three hours to take the examination once it started. Some candidates opted to appear in the second shift in the same centre.
As a proactive measure, seeing the sensitivity of the situation, NTA arranged for the examination of candidates of the second shift at other Jaipur centres, the statement added.
NTA also arranged for buses for candidates to be carried to other Jaipur centres from this centre.
