In response to the worrying NEET scandal, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) convened a press conference at the AICC Office. Varun Choudhary, National President of NSUI, led the meeting and urged action against the anomalies and malpractices that have dogged the NEET exam.
Citing multiple instances of malpractice that cast doubt on the National Testing Agency's (NTA) ability to administer fair exams, Choudhary demanded an immediate suspension on the organisation. He emphasised that in order to rebuild students' trust in the system, an open and honest examination procedure is essential.
In a daring move, he also urged that Dharmendra Pradhan, the minister of education, quit if he did not act decisively against those behind the scheme. The NSUI President emphasised that it is the Minister's responsibility to guarantee an environment free from corruption in the classroom and that ignoring the problem would constitute a grave breach of duty.
In order to guarantee justice for the students impacted by the swindle, the NSUI leader emphasised the significance of taking prompt corrective action. To preserve the integrity of the examination process, he demanded an open investigation and strong penalties for the guilty parties. Additionally, he declared that on June 21, 2024, NSUI would plan demonstrations in more than 180 colleges and 250 districts.
This declaration highlights the seriousness of the situation and NSUI's will to fight for an equitable and open educational system.
The NSUI is protesting against alleged cheating and irregularities in the NEET exam, also known as the NEET scam.
The protests will be held on June 21st, 2024.
The NSUI plans to hold protests in over 180 universities and 250 districts across India.
The NSUI believes the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the NEET exam, has failed to prevent cheating and ensure a fair test.
The NSUI feels the Education Minister is responsible for ensuring a corruption-free education system and should take action against those involved in the scam.
