Delhi HC Examines Technical Issues, Lizard Incident in JEE Advanced
A student taking the JEE Advanced exam had a tough time.
During the first part of the test, his computer screen was acting up, making it hard to see.
Then, in the second part, a lizard kept showing up near his computer, which distracted him.
