MCC NEET PG 2026 Exam: A crucial three-hour MCC NEET PG 2026 exam for candidates at a test center in Jaipur’s Sitapura area was marred by chaos and mismanagement. On Sunday, the computer-based test faced repeated interruptions due to power outages and technical glitches.

Candidates alleged that the power supply at the center kept cutting out; some reported interruptions every 10 to 15 minutes. These issues made it difficult to log in, access questions, and continue with the exam. Frustrated by these disruptions, candidates later gathered outside the center to protest and demand justice.
