NTA is proactively taking action against all such reports,” the tweet added. The agency further asked students to report such rumours to CyberCrime or NTA, so that appropriate measures are taken.

In a latest notification, NTA apprised the candidates that on exam day, each and every one has to undergo the compulsory biometric process before entering the exam hall.

However, they must submit a written undertaking. The format for undertaking will be provided at the examination centre.
