CBSE relaxes AIPMT 2015 retest dress code; Exam centres to ensure wall clock and bell ringing facilities

A couple of days ahead of AIPMT 2015 re-test on July 25, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has relaxed its previously announced strict dress code that included directions for wearing light clothes with half sleeves Shirt/T-Shirt/Kurta. The exam authority has now allowed candidates appearing at exam centres with ‘extreme climatic conditions’ to wearing customary dress. The exam authority, however, asked such candidates to report to the exam centre at least 30 minutes in advanced for frisking by metal detector. 

“Candidates wearing customary dress or such candidates appearing from centres in extreme climatic conditions should ensure their presence for frisking by metal detector at least half an hour before the last reporting time, i.e., 09.30 a.m,” CBSE said in a new notification.

Earlier, in an official notification on July 9, the examination authority had asked candidates appearing for the retest to come in open slippers, light clothes with half sleeves Shirt/T-Shirt/Kurta not having big buttons, brooch or any badge, flower and Trouser/Salwar.  Read the full story here.

CBSE which is conducting AIPMT afresh following a Supreme Court order has also asked examination centers to install wall clock in examination hall and provide bell ringing schedule to make the candidates aware about the time. This direction is also apparently in reference to CBSE banning entry of wrist watch into the examination centre during the AIPMT 2015 retest.

A previous notification from CBSE had, besides watches, banned other articles including water bottle, wallet, tabeez, hair Pin, hair Band, belts, cap, scarf etc towards ensuring “smooth and fair conduct of the examination”.

The exam authority also asked candidates to reach their respective exam centres well in advance so that exam entry formalities and compulsory physical frisking is done without any haste.  The AIPMT 2015 retest is scheduled from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. CBSE also warned candidates that they will not be allowed into the exam centre after 9:30 am. “No candidate who reports after 09:30 am shall be allowed to enter in the examination centre” says CBSE.
