Nationwide Outrage Over NEET Irregularities and UGC-NET Cancellation

The protests against alleged irregularities in the NEET exam intensified, prompting opposition attacks on the government. The Ministry of Education awaits a report on the issue from Bihar Police. The NTA faces criticism, and there's a growing call for the cancellation of NEET following UGC-NET's cancellation.

The nationwide outcry over alleged irregularities in the NEET medical entrance exam intensified on Thursday, with multiple student groups staging protests and opposition parties launching sharp attacks on the government. The controversy has drawn comparisons to the Vyapam scam, raising concerns about the future of candidates who sat for these exams.

Further complicating the situation, the Ministry of Education is awaiting a report from the Bihar Police's Economic Offences Unit regarding alleged irregularities in the conduct of NEET in Patna. In response, the ministry summoned NTA Director General Subodh Kumar Singh for further discussions.

The tension escalated after the ministry cancelled the UGC-NET exam, citing compromised integrity. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi blasted the government, accusing it of ineptitude and alleging political motives behind the education system's failings. Fellow politicians and student leaders echoed these sentiments, demanding immediate and substantial reforms.
