Candidates from remote or rural areas often face lack of access to good coaching, infrastructure, and physical training facilities. This disparity can impact their performance in both written and physical rounds.

Even after strenuous effort in earlier stages, failing to clear the medical test or having discrepancies in documents can disqualify candidates, which is a major stress point.

Some candidates raise concerns about transparency in cut-off setting, revaluation, or clarity of medical standards. Clear communication of criteria and methods helps build trust.

Given the physical demands, ensuring that test centers follow medical safety norms, especially during medical rounds, is essential.

Improvement suggestions:

• Publishing detailed score break-up so candidates understand where they fell short

• Ensuring grievance redressal windows post result publication

• Leveraging data analytics to refine exam pattern and cut-off fairness
