Many had to even rush to Cuttack and Bhubaneswar to buy the forms.Alekha Kumar Beura, branch manager of State Bank of India, one of the designated banks, said there had been an acute shortage of the JEE forms in the bank. He said only 400 forms were supplied to the branch and these were sold out by February 13.No additional forms were supplied after that.“I did not get the JEE forms from the SBI branch here. I and some of my friends had to go to Cuttack to purchase them from the GPO,” said Pradipta Mohanty, a student.
