Hundreds of medical and nursing job aspirants staged demonstrations outside test centers in Jaipur after widespread server failures forced the All India Institute of Medical Sciences to halt its recruitment examination.
Candidates who had traveled from across Rajasthan and neighboring states reported that computer terminals froze within minutes of starting the computer-based test, displaying system error notices and failing to record answers. Despite repeated attempts by technical personnel to reboot local servers, the network connection remained inoperable, prompting institute administrators to cancel the examination session. Frustrated aspirants gathered outside the examination gates to protest administrative mismanagement and demand reimbursement for travel and lodging expenses.
Police personnel were deployed to the testing facility to maintain order and facilitate communication between demonstrating candidates and examination coordinators. AIIMS authorities issued an official statement acknowledging the technical disruption, confirming that an investigation into the server outage has been launched.
The premier institute announced that the cancelled recruitment test will be rescheduled, with fresh admit cards and revised examination dates to be communicated to candidates via the official portal.
The computer-based recruitment test was intended to fill hundreds of specialized nursing officer, laboratory technician, and administrative vacancies across premier medical institutes. Candidate associations submitted a formal memorandum to the Union Health Ministry urging the establishment of standardized technical infrastructure requirements and automated diagnostic testing protocols for private third-party examination vendors.
