Dress code is very important to appear for NEET entrance examination. There are some do’s and do not’s that the candidate has to maintain while appearing for the NEET examination. As frisking will be done before the candidate is allowed into the exam hall.
What is frisking?
Frisking is a search done on candidate’s outer clothing where a person who does frisking will run his or her hands along the outer clothing or garment of the candidate to detect or find any bits of paper or any electronic device that contains the answers. Frisking is also done using highly sensitive metal detectors. This process is done to avoid mal function during the examination. NTA conducts frisking with all comprehensive instructions given to the person who does this frisking process that is if the candidate is a girl, frisking will be done by a female and for male candidates frisking will be done by a male. This frisking process will be extensive and it will be done compulsorily for every candidate who appears for the examination.
