Mumbai: The Torrential Downour in Mumbai in the last four days has an unexpected downfall – around 100 students skip the annual IPMAT entrance exam to enter IIim-indore.
The students who were hit are now running from the pillar to the post, with a panic message to the Director of IIM-Indore, Professor Himanshu Rai, and even the education minister of Union Dharmendra Pradhan.
“This year, Ipmat is scheduled for July 16 in the digital zone of Ion in Powai.
But because of heavy rains, floods and road barriers near the exam center, many of us are forced to take a very long detour and cannot reach a long time and not can reach time.
“said Kunal N.
Gupta, one of the sad aspirants.
In addition, many others like Abhinaav Kale, Falak Shah, Jash Sheth, and a number of other people were also postponed by a few minutes but were not permitted to write important tests, he said.
Now, students have launched an online campaign with hashtags such as #mmissed and #ipatmat to attract the attention of the authorities concerned.
“We want them to consider the extraordinary state that day we have prepared for this prestigious exam, some have even taken a drop of a year.
We urge the government and Iím-indore to do what is needed to save our future,” Gupta said.
Despite the efforts of repeatedly by IANS, Director of Iim-Indore and other authorities are not available for comments on this problem.
Calculating the difficulties they encountered in bad weather conditions, Kale, Shah and Sheth said many of them left their vehicle and tried to run in a heavy shower for almost a few kilometers, but still delayed.
Harried scholars now formed the WhatsApp group to highlight their situation and have posted media clips, photos, videos of students struggling to reach their exam centers and other things to justify their stands.
They also contacted the receipt office at IIM-indore via email, telephone calls, but did not succeed, in addition to appealing on social media.
