Post establishing connectivity & re-login, you will be able to continue from the same question when you got disconnected.
• For e.g., if you have completed 10 minutes in the quiz, and are on Q.No.25 at the time of disruption, then upon re-login,
you will be able to start from Q.No.25 and get the remaining 10 minutes (of the total 20 minutes), provided you started
the quiz at the quiz start time.
