A protest broke out at a CTET 2026 examination centre in Vaishali (Hajipur), Bihar following delays in question paper distribution that disrupted the exam start time. Students and local aspirants raised concerns and clashed with centre officials before police intervened to manage the situation.
A section of CTET 2026 candidates staged a protest at an examination centre in Vaishali district’s Hajipur area of Bihar after facing significant delays in receiving their Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) question papers on the scheduled exam day. According to local reports, students were prevented from entering the exam hall and some assembled outside the centre raising slogans and demanding clarity on the delays. Visuals circulated on social media indicate a tense situation where protesters blocked access and voiced frustration over the late distribution of question papers, which impacted their ability to start the exam on time.
What Triggered the Protest?
Candidates alleged that the CTET 2026 question papers did not arrive on schedule, leading to confusion and anxiety at the Hajipur exam centre in Vaishali. When many students reached the centre at the reported reporting time, they were reportedly asked to wait for the papers, which resulted in an extended delay — drawing strong reactions from those present. Several aspiring teachers expressed displeasure at the lack of timely communication from authorities overseeing the examination. The issue reportedly prevented many from entering the hall and beginning their test as per the prescribed timeline.
Police Response and Centre Management
As the protest escalated, local police personnel were called in to manage the crowd and restore order at the exam location. Officers reportedly urged candidates to maintain calm and assured them that the situation was being looked into, ensuring the safety of all involved. While specifics about the official handling of the delayed question paper distribution were not immediately released by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) officials, invigilators and centre administrators were seen coordinating with law enforcement to address the situation and proceed with the examination for those eligible to sit.
Broader Context: CTET 2026 Conduct
The CTET 2026 exam, conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), is being held across multiple cities nationwide on 7 and 8 February 2026 with strict reporting and procedural guidelines. Candidates are instructed to reach the examination centres well before the reporting time and adhere to all instructions in their admit cards. Examination officials and police authorities are expected to issue a formal statement addressing the cause of the delay and outline any remedial measures — including supplemental arrangements or extended time windows for affected candidates — once the full investigation is complete.Students affected by the disruption are advised to remain in touch with the official CTET helpline or their respective centre officials for further instructions and updates.
