New Delhi: The Supreme Court's inaugural computer-based test for the annual Supreme Court Advocate on Record (AoR) Examination encountered technical difficulties today, preventing candidates who chose the online mode from completing their exams.
The AoR Exam for the subject "Practice and Procedure" was scheduled for today (June 10) from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Guru Hargobind Institute of Management & Technology, Anand Vihar, Delhi.
Primary sources at the exam center reported that Supreme Court Registry officials announced the cancellation of the online exam. Candidates were informed that the Committee of Judges overseeing the examination would provide further updates on the next steps.
A total of 173 candidates were participating in the online mode. Many reported experiencing issues such as server outages and system crashes, which prevented them from uploading their answers.
The pen-and-paper mode of the exam was conducted separately.
The Supreme Court Registry has yet to issue an official response regarding the incident.
