There were nationwide protests in India on July 22 due to an increasing clamor from both students and political figures for answers regarding the allegations of irregularities in the NEET exam.
Students have taken to the streets in various states, asking for transparency and additional protection to secure the integrity of such competitive examinations. This controversy even forced a suspension in the proceedings of the parliament due to the increasing concerns about the state of India’s education system.
Student associations argue that there must be a proper examination process to ensure that the millions of aspirants who spend years preparing for such a highly competitive exam are served right.
