A large number of students on Thursday staged a massive protest near the Deputy Commissioner's office in Karnataka's Mandya against alleged irregularities in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) examination, targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government.
The protest was organised by the National Students' Union
of India (NSUI). Students raised slogans against the Union government, expressing anger over the NEET question paper leak.
Protesters alleged that the leak had caused grave injustice to students and demanded scrapping NEET in favour of the state-run Common Entrance Test (CET) for admissions. "We don't want NEET, we want CET," they chanted.
