The National Testing Agency (NTA) has clarified that a candidate, who was initially allocated an examination centre in Abu Dhabi, had selected the centre through their own login credentials. The centre was later changed to Nagpur following a request from the candidate.
NTA's Statement on Centre Selection
In a detailed statement, the NTA explained that the candidate had logged into the official portal and chosen Abu Dhabi as their preferred examination centre. This selection was made independently by the candidate without any external interference. The agency emphasized that the entire process is transparent and candidates are free to choose from available centres.
Request for Change
Subsequently, the candidate submitted a request to change the centre from Abu Dhabi to Nagpur. The NTA, after verifying the request, approved the change. The agency stated that such requests are accommodated whenever possible, subject to seat availability and other logistical considerations.
No Irregularities Found
The NTA further clarified that there were no irregularities in the allocation or change of the centre. The candidate's actions were in compliance with the standard operating procedures. The agency urged the public to refrain from spreading misinformation regarding the examination process.
Background
This clarification comes amid questions raised by some media reports about the allocation of examination centres abroad. The NTA reiterated that all centres, whether domestic or international, are allocated based on candidate preferences and availability.
The agency also highlighted that candidates are advised to carefully select their examination centres during the registration process, as changes may not always be possible due to administrative constraints.
