A student revealed that the state government must do away with one minute late, no entry rule as it creates panic among the students. She further added that no student usually comes late to the examination centre. However, due to traffic problems, some students might come late. Hyderabad is a big city where it takes a lot of time to reach from one place to other. Therefore, the state government needs to think about it, she said.
