Out of a total of 43 centres,the exam was cancelled at these five centres on May 1 due to a clash of the re-scheduled AIEEE and prior-scheduled AFMC examination. The AIEEE exam was re-scheduled due to a paper leak.

Confusion and chaos prevailed at all 43 centres in the city when the students,many coming from far off places,were informed about the paper being postponed. At some of the centres,it was hardly 15 minutes prior to the start of the exam that the news reached either through other school principals or the CBSE office and the students were asked to leave the classrooms.
