NTA suspends Eduquity after Jaipur exam outage
ANI··23 Aug
On 22 August 2026, the National Testing Agency issued a show-cause notice to Eduquity Career Technologies and suspended the firm's empanelment after a power failure at Shri Satya Sai PG College in Jaipur. Of 192 candidates at that AIAPGET centre, 49 could not finish. Nationwide, 35,788 of 35,837 who appeared completed the test at 200 centres.

What It Means For You
- If you were among the 49 who could not finish at Shri Satya Sai PG College, the re-exam is on 1 September at 10 am in Jaipur, with details on a revised admit card.
- Anyone else who sat AIAPGET on 22 August should note that 35,788 candidates completed the paper at 200 centres, so this action is tied to one hall, not a nationwide paper cancel.
- If you plan later NTA tests run through an empaneled firm, Eduquity's listing with the agency is suspended until the show-cause notice is closed.
What's Happening
- The agency first announced the 1 September re-exam, then issued the show-cause notice and the immediate suspension the same Saturday.
- Sources at the hall said 143 of 192 candidates waited through the outage and completed the Ayurveda paper, while 49 declined to continue after the wait.
- NTA said further centre details would go only to the affected roll numbers through the revised admit card, not a new public list for all 36,979 registered candidates.
How A Jaipur Outage Reached A Show-Cause
- AIAPGET is the gateway paper for postgraduate seats in Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy.
- NTA also conducts large national tests such as JEE, NEET and CUET through empaneled centre vendors.
- A source described protests inside the hall after the generator failed, which is why the agency named Eduquity in the public note.
