Some candidates who were not in Manipur or wanted to take the examination in another State/City are being allocated to other cities i.e., Delhi, Guwahati, etc. The option for a change of Centre for candidates from Manipur is still available.
Moreover, after contacting the State administration, the NTA has been advised to keep all examinations in the State of Manipur from 29 May 2023 onwards.
