Power cut hits students during exam

A section of candidates who had come to take the PSTET exam faced problems due to a long power cut during the exam here on Sunday.

Candidates taking the exam at the Government Senior Secondary School for Girls examination centre on the Mall Road complained of a long power cut. They said the rooms at the centre were plunged into near-darkness.

Jugraj Singh, District Education Officer, said the school had a spacious campus so there was no problem of visibility in the examination rooms. Adequate doors and windows provided enough visibility in each classroom.
