AIIMS Jaipur Recruitment Exam Disrupted After NEET-PG Power Failure
AIIMS was holding a computer-based recruitment test in Jaipur.
The test was meant to select people for Group B and Group C jobs.
Problems with electricity, computers, and the server interrupted the examination.
Reports differed on whether the test started on time or about 30 minutes late.
Many candidates left the centre and protested.
The same Jaipur centre had experienced problems during the NEET-PG exam the day before.
AIIMS cancelled the affected test and said candidates would take it again on September 7, 2026.
TCS iON was asked to explain what happened and preserve records such as system logs and CCTV footage.
Power and technical problems disrupted the AIIMS Common Recruitment Examination at the iON Digital Zone in Sitapura, Jaipur.
AIIMS cancelled the test at centres RJ0101 and RJ0102 and scheduled a re-examination for September 7, 2026.
Reports said the exam either began as scheduled or about 30 minutes late before server and power failures disrupted it.
About 2,000 candidates were registered; 1,342 appeared at RJ0101 and 436 at RJ0102, according to AIIMS details.
The same centre experienced power-related problems during the NEET-PG examination on August 30, prompting candidate protests and an investigation request.
