In a letter to the Secretary to the Meghalaya Personnel & AR (A) Department, Singh said that students and job aspirants of Garo Hills are facing problems in applying and appearing in various competitive exams like Engineering, Medical, Management conducted by NTA and Job recruitment of IBPS for Banking Service and other UPSC exams. He also said the centre for various examinations is notified only in Shillong which is far from Garo Hills and involves lots of expenses for accommodation and transportation.
