Students from All India Students' Federation staged a protest near the BSNL office in Coimbatore, demanding the cancellation of the NEET exam, criticizing the BJP government's handling of education policies.
Coimbatore: A significant student protest erupted near the BSNL office close to the office of the Coimbatore District Collector, with demonstrators from the All India Students' Federation calling for the cancellation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
The protest highlighted issues such as the alleged commercialization of education by the National Testing Agency and the BJP's failed policies in handling the educational sector.
During the protest, students raised slogans against the BJP government, asserting that education should not be turned into business. The state's deputy leader, Sneha, expressed concerns over the ongoing discrepancies in the NEET exam process. She highlighted instances such as unexpected early results and no prior notifications, which have left many aspirants underprepared and disadvantaged.
Moreover, Sneha criticized the inequitable nature of the exam, pointing out that even students scoring 400 marks could still be left without a chance for medical education, emphasizing the need for systemic reform in medical admissions. She also mentioned that merely conducting re-examinations for 1563 students is not a solution and called for a complete overhaul and reconducting of this year’s NEET to ensure fairness and transparency in the examination process.
