He took the help of a navigation app to reach his examination centre by searching for SRM school on it which led him to the Mellacheruvu branch, which has no examination centre. Jayadev, who shocked by what happened to him, rushed to SRM school on Huzurnagar road, but reached 10 minutes late of the exam time. There was 5 km distance between the two branches of the schools. The officials did not allow Jayadev to appear for the examination and made it clear that the one minute late rule would be strictly implemented.

Jayadev told that he didn’t knew that SRM school had two branches in Kodad. He searched for the location of SRM schools, which was his examination centre, in a navigation app. It showed the location of the school on Mellacheruvu road and came to knew after reaching the place that there was no exam centre in the branch. Knowing about the second branch of the school, he rushed to it, he added.
