n order to voice their concerns related to the UGCs planned move to merge the JEE and NEET exams into the CUET, several aspirants have called for a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on 17th August 2022. The protest is being led by student activist Pawan Bhadana and will commence tomorrow at 10 AM. Students are showing opposition to the UGCs stance because of the difference in the difficulty as well as the pattern of both the exams (JEE & NEET). Experts also feel that both exams need to test different skillsets and cannot be merged into a common exam based on an overlapping knowledge base (both exams have Physics & Chemistry as common sections)
In addition to
the concerns related to the new exam pattern from next year, NEET aspirants are
also demanding a reexam citing concerns related to irregularities, cheating,
and rigging during this year’s exam on 17th July 2022. At the same
time, engineering aspirants are requesting the authorities conduct a third
session of the JEE claiming that technical glitches and logistical issues have
impacted several aspirants this year.
The JEE &
NEET are national level entrance exams for engineering and medical courses in
India. Both exams had a combined aspirant pool of more than 2.5 million this
year and are conducted by the NTA (National Testing Agency).
