In India, after the cancellation of the entrance test for research and college-university teachers ‘UGC-NET’, there have been allegations of corruption in the medical entrance test ‘National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test’ or NEET for short. In such a situation, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said in a press conference on Thursday (June 20) that the government will not compromise on the future of students. Indian media NDTV reported this news.
He said that if corruption is proven, the guilty will be punished. The same is the case with the net. No one will be exempted under any circumstances.
The sources said that the preliminary investigation has revealed major corruption. In such circumstances, the authorities said that investigation will be conducted against those who prepared the question papers and the test administrators.
The National Testing Agency or NTA, the organization conducting the examination, needs structural and procedural reforms. The government will form a high-level committee to ensure that. The committee will be made up of skilled people from various fields like science, technology, law, education, psychology etc. NTA will be refined as per their recommendations. Its notification will be issued soon.
UGC NET exam is held across the country on Tuesday. Lakhs of candidates participated in it. But on Wednesday night, the government announced that the exam is being cancelled. Authorities said the decision was taken based on information provided by the Central Cyber Crime Unit run by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Meanwhile, there have been allegations of widespread corruption surrounding the All India NET entrance exam. Not only the question paper leaks, but the allegations are also against organized gangs in various states, who are offering huge amounts of money from writing the answer papers to getting enough marks. As a result, it has been seen that 67 candidates got the total marks of 720 in the exam. Never in the history of this test have so many people scored such a perfect score simultaneously.
