Echoing similar sentiments, a candiate asked, “if you had planned to take the exam in Jan, why did you not inform us back in Sept, why so late? And if this was a impromptu and unplanned decision, that too without considering the student’s situation and just for the sake of normalisation, you are ruining our lives.”
