No pens or pencils allowed inside NEET centres

The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test is scheduled to take place on May 7th, and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the regulatory body, is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that students don’t resort to unfair means.

For this purpose, CBSE has issued a list of dos and don'ts for the candidates, out of which one is to not bring watches, pens, pencils and erasers to the exam centre. To attempt the test, pens would be provided by CBSE after candidates take their respective seats.

Other than this strange rule, male candidates are also advised to follow a dress code, allowing only light-coloured jeans, trousers and half-sleeved shirts and barring kurta-pyjamas. Students are also advised not to wear shoes and come in sandals or slippers.

Female candidates are advised not to wear dressed with big buttons or brooches and shoes with high heels.
