TIMES NEWS NETWORK 19.04.2018
New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has come out with the dress code for students taking the upcoming NEET 2018 exam.
While issuing the admit cards for the National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET 2018) for students willing to pursue MBBS and BDS at medical colleges in India, the board has advised candidates to come in “lightcoloured half-sleeves dress” and “not to wear shoes”.
Reiterating the dress code it announced in 2017, the board has added that the candidates will have to report at the exam centre an hour earlier in case they choose to wear their “customary dress”. The CBSE had attracted a lot of criticism last year when students were forced to remove their head scarves to gain entry into the exam halls, leading to protests. According to the dress code, the candidates will have to wear “light clothes with half sleeves, not having big buttons, brooch/badge, flower etc. with salwar/ trouser,” and “slippers, sandals with low heels and not the shoes,” to the exam centre.
The NEET exam for the academic year 2018-19 will be conducted on Sunday, May 6, 2018 from 10am to 1pm. “The schedule will remain unaltered even if the date of the test is declared apublic holiday,” CBSE said in a statement.
CBSE has also barred students from carrying communication devices such as mobile phones, bluetooth earphones, microphones, pagers and health bands. The board said that no arrangement would be made at the centres for keeping any articles/items belonging to the candidates. “If any candidate is found in possession of any of the barred items inside the centre, it will be considered as use of unfair means and action will be taken against the candidate,” CBSE stated.
Other items not allowed inside the exam centres include bits of papers, geometry/ pencil box, plastic pouch, calculators, wallets, sunglasses, handbags, belt, cap, ornaments, watch etc.
STRICT RULES: Candidates who choose to wear their ‘customary dress’ will need to report at the exam centre an hour earlier
