Dear Sir,

I attempted my SBI PO Prelims on April 29, 2017. Exam Centre - Global Institute of Technology, ITS-1 IT Park, EPIP Sitapura, Jaipur -302022.

I had my exam in 4th shift. My computer was repetitively logging me out before the exam. I immediately informed the concerned authority about this issue. But the authorities irresponsibly told me that this wont happen during the exam and that they are confirming this out of their experience. It happened to 5-6 other students too. Changing seats also did not help them as the vacant computers were also having the same problem.

My computer had logged out 4 times before the exam. But authority told me that it wont happen during the exam.

Then, 3 minutes after the exam started, my exam got signed out. I again informed the invigilators and this time they changed my seat. Again after 7 minutes, my exam got signed out. Then I was shifted to 3rd computer.

This definitely affected my mental stability required to clear the exam. I remained calm as I had to focus on the exam. I did not argue with any single invigilator.

On my 3rd computer, the mouse was horrible. It was not clicking the options immediately. I had to click 2-3 times to mark the answer and to move to the next question. This surely took away few minutes of mine from the total duration of 50 minutes that I spent on the 3rd computer with terrible mouse.

So, overall I got suppressed by the time limits which definitely tolled on my mental stability during the exam.

More sad part is that today I got to know that I could not clear Preliminary exam by 2 marks, though I had cleared it last year with a fair margin.

This inconvenience happened only because of lazy and irresponsible invigilators appointed at my exam venue. Also there were 10-15 poorly performing computers in my lab, which affected the exam of 5-6 students. Luckily for the authorities, the remaining computers were vacant due to absentees and only we 5-6 students were shifting our computers during the exam. This could be sorted out before the exam as all the students settle on their seats 30 minutes prior to the examination.

I strongly condemn such conduct of the invigilators on their irresponsible behavior. They lacked mental presence only because they had managed 3 shifts earlier during the day. So they did not care much during the 4th shift. They were more concerned about their own comfort.

I request SBI to never select this examination center which cannot ensure smooth functioning during the exam. Also the concerned invigilators must be found out and be barred from being part of any invigilation team in future.

This would save the ambitious aspirants from failing for the reasons like a poor examination center and a poor invigilation team. A strict screening should be held for the invigilators before the exam and only those with high energy levels, tolerance and technical know-how should be selected to be part of invigilators' team in any center.

I had also submitted my feedback after the exam on April 29, 2017. Shift -4.
Today, I witnessed the most sad result of my life. Though, I am glad that I performed with 96.15%, accuracy even after falling in such circumstances.

I hope SBI will handle this complaint with exact importance that is associated with this message.
