IYC Protests Against Alleged NEET-UG and UGC-NET Exam Rigging at Education Minister's Residence

Indian Youth Congress (IYC) workers protested near Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's residence over alleged NEET-UG and UGC-NET exam rigging. They demanded that the National Testing Agency (NTA) be dismissed and justice provided to the affected students. Allegations have led to detention of several IYC workers, protests in multiple cities, and legal actions.

In a significant display of discontent, Indian Youth Congress (IYC) workers staged a demonstration near the residence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday. The protest was fueled by allegations of rigging in the NEET-UG and UGC-NET exams.

The IYC, in their statement, asserted that the purported scam endangers the future of numerous students, plunging their academic prospects into uncertainty. The protestors demanded an immediate dismissal of the National Testing Agency (NTA) and called for swift justice for the students affected by the alleged malpractices.

IYC President Srinivas BV labeled the alleged rigging as a betrayal of the nation's future. In the wake of these protests, several IYC workers were detained. This controversy stems from accusations such as question paper leaks in states like Bihar, which have triggered widespread protests and legal petitions. The Union education ministry has since canceled the UGC-NET exam and initiated a CBI investigation.
