After her exam, she told us that as there was a metal object in her innerwear, she and many other students were asked to remove such clothing. The college where the exam were held said it had no role, as these things were done by an agency who was entrusted with the task," he said.As these candidates who had to undergo such a humiliation were under tremendous duress and they were unable to perform well because of this insensitive behaviour of the centre officials, the parent added.Notably, on Sunday, some of NEET girl aspirants were purportedly made to remove their innerwear during the examination at a centre in Kerala.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
