साथियों, #corona महामारी से उत्पन्न संकट के दौर में मुझे मिल रहे सुझावों में कई परीक्षार्थियों ने @DG_NTA परीक्षा केंद्रों को बदलने की अपनी इच्छा प्रकट की हैं। उनके इस अनुरोध को ध्यान में रखते हुए, मैंने एनटीए अध्यक्ष को इस पर गौर करने और उनका मार्गदर्शन करने का निर्देश दिया है। pic.twitter.com/lQ6zVzVCr7
