NEW DELHI, Dec 13 (TIWN): With protests raging across Assam over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, CSIR-NET candidates are worried whether the exams could be conducted on Sunday and if they would be able to reach the test centres. With curbs on internet services, it will be logistically difficult for the National Testing Agency (NTA) as the exam is fully computer-based.

With curfew imposed in Guwahati and Dibrugarh, the NTA is yet to take a call on the matter. About 6,980 candidates have registered for CSIR-UGC NET from Assam while 3,000 from Tripura are supposed to take the exam. In all there are 20 centres spread across Dibrugarh, Guwahati, Jorhat, Sivasagar, Silchar and Tezpur, while in Tripura the exam will be conducted in Agartala.
