Student Outfits Demand NEET-UG Retest Over Alleged Irregularities

Student organizations from the INDIA bloc parties criticized the BJP-led Centre for alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG exam. They demanded a retest for all 24 lakh candidates and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. This follows reported paper leaks and corruption, which they claim endanger the future of many students.

In a sharp critique of the BJP-led Centre, student organizations from the INDIA bloc parties have called for a retest of the NEET-UG examination, citing alleged irregularities.

During a joint press conference, leaders from student bodies like AISA, SFI, AISF, Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha, and NSUI expressed concerns about the future of over 24 lakh candidates, claiming that rigging in the NEET-UG posed a significant threat to their aspirations.

The groups also demanded the dissolution of the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over allegations of exam paper leaks and corruption. The NTA recently released revised results for candidates who had to retake the exam on May 5 due to earlier administrative issues, which saw a drop in the number of top scorers.
