Kerala: The Kerala Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution demanding the central government on Wednesday to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the alleged irregularities in the conduct of NEET and NET examinations by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
LDF MLA M Vijin moved the motion in the assembly which was supported by both the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) led by Congress.
MLA Vijin alleged that the central government and the BJP are supporting the exam mafia that conducts the exams.
"How can a government which cannot conduct these exams safely ensure the security of the country? NTA has committed gross negligence in conducting the exam.
About 24 lakh students depend on this examination. Paper leaks happened. There was widespread corruption in the conduct of NEET 2024," the legislator said in the assembly.
"Bihar's Patna and Gujarat's Godhra are the two epicentres we are seeing.
This mafia, even asked Students who have lakhs to spend to leave blank papers. In Haryana, six students who got full marks appeared for the exam at the house of a BJP leader's relative.
67 first-rank holders this time, this is something which we have never heard in the history of these exams.
Even after all this NTA and union government from the beginning has been trying to say there is no lapse," he added.
Kerala higher education minister R Bindu moved a substantial resolution under rule 275 on the irregularities in conducting NEET- UG and UGC-NET examinations in the country.
Bindu said that the irregularities in conducting the NEET examination have destroyed the hopes and dreams of lakhs of students and parents.
Amid the NEET row, the Education Ministry cancelled the UGC-NET exam held on June 18 and postponed the NEET-PG 2024 examinations a day ahead of its scheduled date. (with Agency inputs)
