Over 15.97 lakh candidates appeared in the exam that was conducted following strict COVID-19 guidelines. Like JEE, a proportion of students and parents were against the conduct of medical entrance exam considering the health risk, but Tanmoy, among others supported the government’s move. “At the time of solving the paper, I mistakenly removed the masks and chill for a moment, but the invigilator appeared before me within a second and instructed to wear the mask properly.”
