A NEET PG candidate is seen sobbing and yelling loudly in a startling video that has gone viral online.
The NBEMS conducted the NEET PG 2024 exam on August 11, 2024 (Sunday). In the heartbreaking video, the aspirant was seen trying to enter the exam centre as the crowd gathered around her. The video seems to have been shot by someone in the crowd.
This chaos outside the exam centre was created after the candidates arrived 2 minutes late than the set exam time. The candidate reportedly arrived at the center at 8:32 a.m., despite the gate being scheduled to close at 8:30 a.m.
According to a number of reports, the candidate's two-minute delay caused the exam center to turn her away. The reports further state that the candidate was denied entry because it was unclear which entry gate to use, a detail that had not been made explicit. However, there is no official confirmation of the above reports.

At the centre, though, the deported security guards were calm as they cleared the area, closed the gate, and ensured nobody went inside.
Netizens React
This viral video has stirred a number of reactions online. While some online users appeared to be sympathetic to the candidate, others seemed offended by her actions and pointed the finger at her tardiness.
Reflecting that the candidate must have reached the exam centre on time, several netizens expressed their opinions.
"No sympathies from me. I have seen this happen multiple times. This is not some casual outing. You have to be there on time," a user enunciated.

Echoing similar sentiments, several more users wrote, "Be punctual, be at 8:00 am sharp rather than a minute or two late." and "No competitive exams allow people to come late, if they start allowing, then we Indians will start coming late, She is disturbing the students who are appearing for the exam, who made it on time."
