As both shifts ended, heavy traffic congestion was witnessed on Jaipur's streets. Many candidates struggled to find space in road buses, which were overcrowded. The REET exam was conducted from 10:00 AM to 12:30 pm at 220 exam centres across Jaipur. The second shift took place from 3:00 PM to 5:30 pm at 233 exam centres in the city.
