4. Aspirants’ Experiences — City Allocation Insights
Candidates often receive exam centers far from their home cities, even in different states. Reddit users mention receiving centers hundreds of kilometers away—for example:
“My Tier‑1 centre was hometown (4 km), Tier‑2 was 400 km away in another state”
“In 2023, Tier‑2 was in Jharkhand while I’m from Kolkata… exams ran into Holi and city services shut”
This reflects audit-driven, anti‑cheating logistics choices rather than local convenience.
