    It took one death and 11 get injured to restore order. This is just example of poor management. Proper arrangements should be made in advance to receive the candidated in proper manner / Q and process their applications / tests/ interview etc. The gate was opened at once ... this will surely lead to rush, indiscipline and even stampede.
