A day after a NEET PG 2026 examination was cancelled at a centre in Jaipur due to power failure, a AIIMS CRE-5 re-exam in Jaipur’s Sitapura district was delayed for 30 minutes due to server failure, India Today reported.

According to the report, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Common Recruitment Examination (AIIMS CRE-5) exam was scheduled from 9 am to 12 noon. However, due to the server disruption, the paper began at 9:30 am, it reads.
