The Chief Justice of India (CJI) has now decided that all papers for the AoR exam will be held physically this year, sources told Bar & Bench.
Around 120 candidates who appeared for the exam today via online mode faced technical issues with many candidates unable to write or submit the answer sheets due to computer malfunctions.
While some could not commence their paper, others were able to write for around 2.5 hours before their computers crashed.
The paper for today’s exam was ‘Practice and Procedure’ and the online exam was held at the Guru Hargobind Institute of Management & Information Technology at Anand Vihar in the national capital.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) in a letter to the Supreme Court secretary general has stated that any decision to now hold the exam in physical mode tomorrow would be “unreasonable” since those who prepared for online exam cannot suddenly be asked to move to a paper based exam.
