What to do if a technical glitch occurs at the NEET PG exam center?

According to the official NBEMS advisory, follow these rules if a technical issue arises during the NEET PG exam:
If the power goes out: As soon as the power fails or there is a server interruption, the exam timer running on your screen will immediately pause at that exact moment. As soon as the system restarts, the timer will resume counting from the point where it had stopped.

If the system locks up or hangs: Immediately raise your hand to alert the invigilator if the mouse stops responding, the screen flickers, or the computer hangs. The IT manager present will verify your account and unlock the system.
Seat change facility: In the event of a major malfunction with your system or in the lab, you will be immediately shifted to another 'buffer' seat within the same lab or to a different lab.
