Mumbai: Several medical aspirants who tried to log in to NEET’s website to register for entrance exams faced technical glitches over Aadhaar details. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) mapped Aadhaar details of aspirants with UIDAI’s site, which many could not manage.
Sudha Shenoy, a parent, said last year the registration process required students to only fill the Aadhaar number but this year they were mapping details with name, date of birth and gender. Many students were unable to register if even a minor detail was not matching with what was on the Aadhaar card, she added. Some others were facing technical glitches, said Shenoy.
One parent could not complete the process as the date of birth in the school was not
matching with that given in the card. “It was the parent’s fault but there is enough time to get the mistake rectified online,” said a parent.
Another parent said after the security pin was generated, the registration page was not leading anywhere. A student said after filling details, they did not get any confirmation on the site. Another student said the page disappeared after the one-time password was entered. Most got a message saying details filled in by them did not match with Aadhaar details. “I am trying to register but the system is saying my gender and date of birth do not match. I have verified it thrice,” said a parent.
A CBSE spokesman said the technical glitches were due to heavy traffic on the site.
“Students need not panic if they are unable to complete the registration process. It is not on first-come, first-serve basis. Students have a lot time to register, they should try again in a day or two,” he said. Aadhaar details are sought for a unified process for registration.
NEET for admission to MBBS and BDS courses will be held on May 6. The process for registration will go on till March 10. Students need not panic as they have a month, the spokesman said. Aadhaar number is mandatory for all, except for those from Assam, Jammu & Kashmir and Meghalaya, and applicants must give their consent to CBSE to validate it.
In case of mismatch in Aadhaar number with name, date of birth and gender, candidates will not be able to fill up the form. Students have to get Aadhaar details verified online to ensure they match with school records.
