Power failure disrupts AIIMS CRE at two Jaipur centres; exam rescheduled for September 7

The AIIMS Common Recruitment Examination (CRE) at two examination centres in Jaipur was cancelled on September 1, 2026, after power failures disrupted the test. A fresh examination for candidates at the affected centres has been scheduled for September 7.

The disruption occurred during the examination at the two Jaipur centres. AIIMS cancelled the examination at those centres to maintain fairness, according to the information available in the research material.

Candidates who were scheduled to take the examination at the affected centres will therefore need to appear for the fresh test on September 7. The available information does not specify the revised examination timings, candidate arrangements or whether any other centres were affected.

The examination is the AIIMS Common Recruitment Examination, referred to as the AIIMS CRE. The affected locations are in Jaipur. The research material identifies AIIMS, TCS, iON Digital Zone and Sitapura among the entities associated with the report, but does not provide enough detail to establish the specific role of each entity or confirm the names of the two affected centres.

The cancellation means that the examination result for the affected centres will not be based on the disrupted sitting. Instead, candidates covered by the rescheduling will take a fresh examination on September 7. No further information was provided on the cause of the power failures, the number of candidates affected or arrangements for candidates unable to attend on the rescheduled date.
