In this way the UP government is claiming to organize the exam in a systematic manner. While narrating the reality, these videos are becoming increasingly viral in which students are seen getting harassed amidst a huge crowd. As soon as the exams are over, all the arrangements made by the government at the railway station and bus stand seem to be crumbling.

Regarding this examination, the Chief Minister of the state Yogi Adityanath has given 50% discount in buses to the candidates traveling for the recruitment examination.

Despite all this, 5863 students left the examination on the very first day. After the end of the examination on June 8, due to the huge crowd at Charbagh railway station in Lucknow, candidates were seen risking their lives and entering the trains through the emergency windows.

Train stopped due to storm, students reached center on foot

Due to the storm in Unnao, a tree fell on the way of the train going from Kanpur to Balamau, due to which the train stood still for hours. Due to this obstruction, the students going to appear for the examination had to proceed on foot. This caused huge problems in reaching the center on time.
