"The government should provide ₹10,000 to each student to cover costs of trains, buses, accommodation, and psychological hardship.

The duration of the delay, it says, should be added directly to the upper age limit so candidates are not penalised for circumstances beyond their control.<h2>Independent audits of computer-based exam centres</h2>For online and computer-based tests, the party has proposed mandatory third-party audits of examination centres at least seven days before an exam. "Hardware, software, internet connectivity, and infrastructure must be tested in advance. If a centre fails the audit, it must be replaced immediately," according to the party.&nbsp;
