The petitioners, all students from several districts of Tamil Nadu, who had appeared for the exam at the centre on May 4, told a vacation bench of the high court that the exam had thus, begun late. They also claimed the examination centre at Avadi got waterlogged due to heavy rains and the students were made to shift to another centre mid-exam.
