REET 2022 is being held on July 23 and 24 across the state. A government school teacher was arrested in Barmer district on July 22 for allegedly conspiring to appear as a dummy candidate for today’s exam.

A REET 2022 candidate missed his exam due to bad weather and said in a tweet, “My paper was in Ajmer since 10 am, I was coming from Delhi, due to rain storm, there was a jam from place to place and I reached the center at 9:30 in the morning but they did not give entry. And in many other places the entry was easily available even after 9 o'clock.”

मेरा पेपर अजमेर में था सुबह 10 बजे से, मैं दिल्ली से आ रहा था, बारिश आंधी तूफान की वजह से जगह जगह जाम मिला और मैं सुबह 9:30 बजे सेंटर पहुंचा लेकीन उन्होंने एंट्री नही दी। और दूसरी कई जगह पर 9 बजे के बाद भी एंट्री आसानी से मिल गई।#ReetExam2022#ReetExam2022#REET2022

A Twitter user shared a video of candidates who missed their exam for being late and said “In the paper starting at 10:00, not giving entry to the students even after reaching the center at 9:02,v this shows the purpose of the Gehlot government, This is the condition of almost every exam center of Rajasthan today, a large number of children were prevented from taking the exam.”

10:00 बजे शुरू होने वाले पेपर में 9:02 पर सेंटर पर पहुंचने के बाद भी छात्रों को इंट्री ना देना, यह गहलोत सरकार का उद्देश्य दर्शाता है,
राजस्थान के लगभग हर एग्जाम सेंटर का यही हाल रहा आज, भारी संख्या में बच्चों को एग्जाम देने से रोका गया #REET2022 pic.twitter.com/PAjl2df6My

Another Twitter user shared a viral video of frisking of candidates and wrote in a tweet, “A video from Rajasthan is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which scissors are being used on the kurtis of girl students going to give papers to prevent copying at REET exam centres.”

राजस्थान से एक वीडियो सोशल मीडिया पर बहुत तेजी से वायरल हो रहा है, जिसमें रीट परीक्षा केंद्रों पर नकल रोकने के लिए पेपर देने जा रही छात्राओं की कुर्तियों पर कैंची चलाई जा रही है. देखिये ये वायरल वीडियो #Jodhpur #Rajasthan #REET2022 #Viral #ViralVideo #Rajasthan #Teachers pic.twitter.com/huwUDc7zDz
