IMP: Issue regarding the timing of the 2nd Session.

[Rupam Bora]

Dear Sir/Ma'am

As the revised timing and duration was issued today. I am having issues with the timing of the 2nd Session which is going to be held from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Unfortunately, this may cause problems for many candidates including myself. Especially for those who are from North-eastern regions, where the sunset is at 4:30 pm. 

Since the closing time of the exam is late, candidates who'll come from a far distance and wish to travel by public transportation will face problems due to the fewer availability vehicles after the sunset. 

The problem has occurred due to the current pandemic situation. Therefore, I request you to please reconsider the timings of the 2nd Session for the above-mentioned regions. Please provide proper assistance and support for the same.

Yours sincerely

Rupam Bora

YES PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. EVEN MANY STUDENTS AS LIKE ME HAVE EXAM CENTER ARROUND 100 KMS AWAY IN DIFFERENT CITY. DUE TO COVID VERY LIMITED TRANSPORT SERVICES (TRAINS/BUSES) AND AFTER 6 PM IN WINTER SEASON ITS EVEN GETS LESSER. 

FOR FEMALE CANDIDATES ITS A BIG PROBLEM.

AFTERNOON SHIFT IS A DULL SHIFT PEOPLE AVOID TAKING LUNCH TO AVOID DULLNESS. KEEPING CONCENTRATION EMPTY STOMACH TILL 6 PM IS ALSO DIFFICULT.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS INSTEAD OF EXTENDING TIME DURATION LIKE TO DECREASE CUTTOFF LEVEL, DECREASE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS, OR TO DECREASE THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF THE QUESTIONS. 

PLEASE GIVE A THOUGHT OVER IT. BY KEEPING DIFFICULTIES FOR 2ND SHIFT STUDENTS IN MIND
