Students Detained Amid Escalating Protests Over UGC-NET and NEET Controversies

More than two dozen students from various universities were detained in Delhi as they protested against the cancellation of the UGC-NET exam and irregularities in NEET. They gathered outside the Ministry of Education and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s residence, demanding accountability and probing paper leak allegations.

More than two dozen students from different universities were detained in central Delhi on Thursday amid protests against the cancellation of the UGC-NET examination and NEET irregularities.

Protestors were detained from outside the Ministry of Education and the residence of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The demonstrations included members of political student outfits such as the Students' Federation of India (SFI), All India Students Association (AISA), and others.

Students called for a ban on the National Testing Agency (NTA) and an investigation into alleged paper leaks. Despite the Ministry's late-night decision to cancel UGC-NET over exam integrity concerns, students' demands remain unmet, escalating tensions. The detention of students, including reports of police brutality, has further fueled the outrage. The outfits also demanded the resignation of the Union Education Minister over alleged corruption.
