In addition, more than 700 senior faculty members, including Deans, Directors, Medical Superintendents and senior professors, were deployed as Flying Squad members.
To further strengthen coordination and monitoring, 16 NBEMS Regional Command Centres were made operational across the country.

Government agencies also extended their full support towards the secure and orderly conduct of the examination.
Technical Disruption Affects 2,445 Candidates in Jaipur
While the examination was successfully completed for the overwhelming majority of candidates nationwide, an unforeseen technical disruption occurred at the iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura Centres in Jaipur, Rajasthan (TC Nos. 41682 and 41683).
Due to internal power supply issues at the test centres, the examination could not be completed for 2,445 candidates. The issue was attributable to M/s TCS Ltd., the examination conducting agency.
