The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) recently activated the link on April 26 to check the exam center for the upcoming RRB NTPC CBT 2 2022 exam. After this, candidates who passed the RRB NTPC CBT 1 could check the date and city of their RRB NTPC CBT 2 exam. However, shortly after the city center list was released, dozens of applicants complained that they had been given an exam city for CGT 2 outside their home state.
Applicants added that this will make it difficult for many of them to pass their exams. Others also argued that since their assigned centers are far from their home state, many would lose the opportunity to show up for their exams.
Many such disadvantaged candidates have also used various social media platforms, including Twitter, to urge exam authorities to investigate and switch exam centers for students.
It has been noticed that applicants who applied for the exam from the zone of Kolkata have been assigned an exam city for CBT 2 in Vishakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Other candidates belonging to Bengaluru, Karnataka zone have complained that they got CBT 2 exam center in Amravati, Maharashtra.
On Twitter, job applicants complained that,
My hometown Calcutta
Cbt Exam Center -Vishakhapattanam
Exam Center Chosen – Kolkata
Pls reconsider and change the city.
