RRB JE CBT 2 Exam Cancelled: The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) cancelled the second shift of the CBT-2 exam for JE and other posts held on April 22nd. The reason cited for the cancellation is a technical glitch in the system. The board stated that due to this error, some questions from Shift 1 were repeated in Shift 2, affecting the exam's integrity. The RRB clarified that the exam for this shift will be rescheduled soon, and the new date will be announced shortly.
Repeated Questions in Shift 2 Caused the Problem
According to the notice issued by the RRB, a technical error in the software system resulted in the repetition of some questions from Shift 1 in Shift 2. This error caused unnecessary confusion and uncertainty among the candidates. The notice also stated that the RRB follows a software system to maintain the confidentiality and transparency of the exam, eliminating human intervention in question setting, delivery to exam centers, and exam conduct. However, this technical glitch necessitated the exam cancellation.
Inconvenience Caused to Candidates Due to Exam Cancellation
Candidates who appeared in the second shift of the RRB JE exam will now have to retake the exam. This development has caused anxiety among many candidates. They expressed concerns that their long preparation efforts have been impacted by the cancellation. However, some candidates have supported the RRB's decision and expressed hope that the board will soon issue new guidelines and a revised schedule.
Objections Raised After Provisional Answer Key Release
Another significant development is that the RRB released the provisional answer key for this exam on April 25th, along with an objection window. Candidates can raise objections against the answer key if they find any errors in the questions or answers. Candidates have until April 30th to submit their objections. The board has also issued detailed guidelines on how to submit objections effectively.
Following the release of the answer key, candidates have begun submitting objections, particularly regarding questions they believe were incorrectly answered. Candidates are urging the board to address these objections promptly and rectify any errors in the answer key to avoid affecting their results.
Candidates Prepare for Exam Rescheduling
Following the cancellation, candidates are uncertain about their preparation strategy for the rescheduled exam. Many believe they will need to adjust their plans once the new date is announced. The RRB has assured candidates that the new exam date will be announced soon and that they will be notified in a timely manner.
The Railway Recruitment Board's Next Steps
The RRB has advised all candidates to continue their preparations. The board also stated that complete transparency will be maintained regarding this technical issue, and appropriate steps will be taken keeping the candidates' interests in mind. Furthermore, the RRB has indicated that the rescheduled exam date will be announced on its official website.
Important Tips for Candidates
Before the new exam date is announced, candidates should follow these important tips:
- Revise: After the exam cancellation, candidates should refresh their preparation, focusing particularly on areas where they felt weak.
- File Objections: If any errors are found in the answer key, candidates have until April 30th to file objections. Utilize this opportunity.
- Regularly Check for Updates: Regularly check the RRB's official website for updates on the new exam date and other relevant information.
