As they don't get the deserving government jobs, they have decided to become class employees by getting rid of unemployment. There were two different centres of the same name at Aurangpura. Candidates from other districts faced inconvenience while searching for the centres. Those who arrived late at the examination centre, had to miss the examination.
Deputy Director of Health (Aurangabad division) Dr Swapnil Lale, Deputy Director (Nursing) Dr Sunita Golhait, Incharge District Civil Surgeon Dr Pradeep Kulkarni, Medical Officer Manohar Wakle worked for the success of the test.

A total of 25 students brought old hall tickets for the Group-D examination. However, due to the new condition, their seat numbers were changed. Health officials arranged for them to have a new hall ticket to make them able to take the examination.
