On 10-06-2024, the candidates appearing for AoR exam through online mode reported technical glitches in the system. The Supreme Court Advocate on Record Association (‘SCAORA’) received complaints from various aspirants out of around 120 advocates sitting in the first-ever computer-based test for AOR Examination 2024 held on 10-06-2024 for ‘Practice and Procedure’, that the system of online examination had crashed, and many aspirants were not able to write a single word whereas some aspirants wrote for 2.5 hours and then the systems crashed. As per sources, owing to the technical glitches, Supreme Court Registry has cancelled the Online Exam this year. Candidates are asked to rewrite paper in offline mode.
In its letter dated 10-06-2024 to the Secretary General, Supreme Court, SCAORA expressed deep concern with the system failure which has severely impacted the aspirants and caused immense trauma. It is also mentioned that the grievance of many aspirants was that their examination had not even started, whereas the examination of aspirants who opted for pen and paper mode had started and competed as per schedule and they have gone home to prepare for the next examination.
Further, SCAORA has expressed concerns that some aspirants have been told that tomorrow’s exams will be in pen and paper mode, since asking those aspirants who have prepared for a computer-based mode to suddenly shift to writing mode at this late hour would be unreasonable.
SCAORA had requested that this issue should be taken up on the highest priority and also brought to the notice of the Chief Justice of India for providing a positive solution in the interest of the aspirants concerned.
Therefore, the Online AoR exams were cancelled for this year. All online candidates will write the exam in offline mode. Further, the offline candidates will rewrite the papers they wrote on 10-06-2024. All the aspirants will get an hour extra.
