New Delhi: The 'unfortunate' incident in Kerala about a NEET candidate being asked to remove her inner wear at an examination centre is a "consequence of overzealousness", the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) said on Tuesday.
"The incident reported at Kannur is unfortunate and a consequence of the overzealousness of a few persons involved in the process. However, inconvenience caused to the students inadvertently in the process is regretted by the Board," CBSE spokesperson Rama Sharma said.
"In order to secure the sanctity of this prestigious examination and to do justice to the genuine and sincere students and parents, CBSE has left no stone unturned to conduct the exam in a fair manner," she said.
Several boys wearing full sleeve shirts were told that only half-sleeve shirts were allowed in the examination hall. Left with no choice, the candidates had to "customise" their clothing as per the norms. Some others wearing shoes had to dump them for the sandals of their parents.
Over 11 lakh MBBS and BDS aspirants appeared for NEET on May 7 at over 1,900 centres across the country. As per the rules sanctioned by the CBSE to prevent cheating, the students should bring their admit cards along with the required documents only.
