Students
across the nation are organizing a candle march to demand a re-exam for the JEE
& NEET. The march is also to raise concerns against the UGC (University
Grants Commission) and NTA (National Testing Agency) for proposing to merge the
JEE and NEET exams into the CUET.The movement is being led by student activist
Pawan Bhadana and is seeing massive support across social media platforms such
as Twitter. The candle march is scheduled on 22nd August 2022 and
will start at 7 PM (as per the banners which are being circulated on social
media)
Students are
demanding a second attempt at the NEET and a third attempt at the JEE exam
citing concerns related to cheating, rigging & logistical issues on part of
the NTA. Students feel that the issues on the day of the exam severely impacted
their temperament and may affect their end outcomes and careers. Their key
demands are that the NTA take responsibility for its inefficiency / failures
related to conducting the exams and alleviate all the concerns being raised by
the students.
The JEE, NEET
& CUET are national level entrance exams which are conducted by the NTA.
The exams have a combined applicant pool of above 4 million aspirants.
