“If any candidate, due to delay in reaching the examination center, attempts to enter the examination premises forcefully or unauthorizedly by jumping over the boundary or gate, it will be considered a violation of the committee's instructions and fall under the category of criminal trespass. Additionally, this will be seen as a clear attempt to disturb the sanctity of the examination and will be treated as a criminal act,” the board stated.
