The Supreme Court's first-ever computer-based test for the annual Supreme Court Advocate on Record (AoR) Examination faced technical glitches today. The candidates who opted for the online mode could not complete the exam due to technical problems.
The AoR Exam for the subject "Practice and Procedure" was scheduled to be conducted today (June 10) from 11 AM - 2 P.M at Guru Hargobind Institute of Management & Technology, Anand Vihar, Delhi.
As per primary sources who were present at the exam centre, the Supreme Court Registry officials announced the cancellation of the online mode of exam. The candidates were informed that the Committee of Judges overseeing the Examination would further notify them about the future course of action.
A total of 173 candidates were appearing for the online mode. According to many candidates, the computer systems faced several technical hiccups such as the server being down and the system hanging. Therefore, the candidates could not upload the answers.
The pen-paper written mode of the exam was held separately.
The Supreme Court Registry is yet to officially respond to the issue.
