NCP Criticizes Central Govt Over UGC-NET Cancellation

The Sharad Pawar-led NCP on Thursday criticized the central government for the cancellation of the UGC-NET exam, pointing out failures in the education system's administration. The decision came after inputs suggested the exam's integrity was compromised, echoing concerns from the recent NEET exam controversy.

The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) criticized the central government on Thursday following the cancellation of the UGC-NET exam, highlighting another "failure" in managing the country's education system.

The Union Education Ministry's decision, announced late Wednesday, came after reports indicated that the integrity of the exam had been compromised. This decision comes amid ongoing debates around the NEET medical entrance exam.

NCP spokesperson Clyde Crasto stated, "The central government's negligence disrespects the hard work of students and endangers their futures." Crasto called for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, accusing the government of mishandling students' lives. NCP also demanded a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe irregularities in the NEET exam and other tests.
