Candidates fouled up first CET for Banks

On Sunday, the first ever common entrance test (CET) for public sector banks was held. Candidates fouled it up as more than 100 candidates were refused to enter examination halls in Nagpur itself. As per the officials, students did not have the required documents. Officials who were conducting the exam alienated students at various centers across Nagpur.

Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) conducted CET on behalf of 19 banks for the posts of probationary officers and management trainees. A faction of candidates lodged a complaint over the issue who has appeared for the exam at a center in Nandanvan. Complainants said that they were denied to enter the examination hall and in this concern, they will have a word with the IBPS to conduct the exam again.

IBPS has clearly stated on the website that students have to bring their exam call letter, the original e-receipt/NEFT receipt and photo identity proof in original and a photocopy. Without these three, students will not be allowed to enter the examination hall.

Students acclaimed that, IBPS did not informed about all these things beforehand. The call letter can be downloaded from the internet and it was available on website only a couple of days back. Students also said that they sat for long hours but the system denied the entry. A complainant said that, officials conducting the exam wanted a bank stamp on the e-receipt. But if it is an e-receipt how will it have a stamp on it? Every thing was mismanaged and it was a full waste of time. Some students were refused to enter as they were lacking just one single document.

Invigilators have put all the blame on candidates that they came without the required documents and when half of the students can come with the documents then why not others..?? Candidates wont read the instructions properly and they arrived without documents and some arrived late that's why they were refused to enter.
