It was told in the complaints that neither extra time was given nor any alternative arrangement was made.

Students of centers like ILVA School, Shri Vaishnav Academy, and Madhav College in Indore were affected by this problem. About 200 students had filed a petition.

NTA clarified, the court accepted the students' point

NTA told the court that alternative arrangements like inverters, candles, and torches were made at many centers.
