The incident had occurred at Marthoma Institute of Information Technology. The reexamination for medical seats will be held on September 4 from 2 pm to 5 pm at a different centre, SN School in Kollam.
As many as 570 students had attended the July 17 exam at the Ayur college; of which less than 200 were girls. All girls have been allowed to attend the re-examination.
