To eliminate this and to conduct the entire examination on the basis of merit, these centers have been removed.

The Commission further said that the intention of the Government and the Commission is to protect the interests of the students and ensure selection on the basis of merit. The selection process has been completely transparent and keeping in mind the interests of the students.

Keeping in view the importance of ensuring the purity of the examination, the Commission took the decision to conduct the examination in two shifts only on the request of the candidates.
