Established to make entrance exams flawless, the National Testing Agency (NTA) model keeps failing. The CSIR-UGC-NET exam scheduled for June 25-27 was postponed due to a supposed lack of resources on June 21 (Friday), heightening student doubts about the NTA.
In the past five years, 15 Indian states have witnessed 41 recruitment paper leaks—indicating a nation-wide epidemic. Millions of students have been affected; the NEET exam scandal has only amplified their frustration.
Public outcry is increasing as students wonder why paper leaks keep happening. The NTA, responsible for conducting NEET, has failed to address these glaring issues repeatedly. Their negligence has only compounded problems, leaving students asking who will hold NTA accountable.
Students Nationwide are Disturbed
The perpetual pattern of leaks and malpractices in exams is troubling students across all states. The government has decided to form a committee to propose improvements to NTA 47 days after the NEET exam, but students are eager to address the root causes of this issue.
NTA's inception led to promises of a more reliable examination system. However, every year since its establishment in 2018, there have been allegations of examination irregularities. Students are now questioning the effectiveness of an agency that fails to conduct fair exams and are seeking guarantees of transparency and integrity for future tests.
With the uproar across the nation, NEET's leaked paper has spurred a political blame game. Key suspects have been arrested in Bihar, uncovering a network of individuals involved. The primary orchestrator, Amit Anand, previously involved in numerous leaks, is under scrutiny for compromising NEET's integrity.
