UP PET Exam Centres' Distance Causes Hardship for Candidates
Candidates appearing for the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission's Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) face significant hardships due to exam centres located 300 to 500 km from their homes. Many report physical exhaustion, financial strain, and mental stress from long-distance travel and overcrowded trains, with some missing exams. Aspirants and observers urge the government to allocate centres closer to candidates' home or neighbouring districts to reduce these difficulties and improve the examination system.
