Hello All, I got up early today and will reach the center atleast 3 hours before, received a call from center that only those who are willing to volunteer for human trials of the vaccine will be allowed to write the exam and will be given complementary Chai-Samosa between the two papers. Koi ricks nahi lene ka re hai baba.
Wishing all of you, all the very best. Keep calm and ace the paper.
P.S. refrain from posting expected cutoffs at least for today. Shaam ko milte hai :D
