Another candidate said he is being “punished twice”. “Because of train derailment 2 days ago and its resultant disruption of rail traffic, I missed my #UPTET exam today. Last time I was giving #UPTET2021 on 28 November 2021, the paper got leaked and govt cancelled the exam midway. No fault of mine, but I get punished, twice!,” he tweeted.
