By A Staff Reporter: In Patna, Bihar, students staged a protest demanding the cancellation of the NEET exam. The protest was fueled by dissatisfaction over the handling of the NEET (UG) 2024 examination, initially held on May 5, 2024. The National Testing Agency (NTA) had previously announced that the NEET exam would be reconducted on June 23, 2024, for 1563 candidates who experienced time loss during the originally scheduled exam.
The students argued that the issues faced during the initial exam warranted a full cancellation rather than a selective re-exam. Their protest highlights the broader concerns and frustrations regarding the examination process and its perceived fairness.
The NTA's decision to reconduct the exam for the affected candidates aims to address the specific grievances but has not quelled the demands for broader action. The ongoing protests underscore the tension between examination authorities and students seeking equitable treatment.
