CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury has called for the disbanding of the National Testing Agency and the resignation of the Union Education Minister amid protests against NEET discrepancies and UGC-NET exam cancellation. Yechury's demands include compensation for affected students and a rollback of mandatory NET scores for PhD admissions.

Amid ongoing protests over discrepancies in the NEET exams and the cancellation of the UGC-NET, CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury demanded the scrapping of the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the resignation of the Union Education Minister on Thursday.

Yechury expressed solidarity with students, referring to them as India's future, and criticized the Modi-led government for destroying academic standards. He outlined his party's demands, including the abolition of the NTA system, the resignation of the Education Minister, compensation for students, and a rollback of the mandatory NET scores for PhD admissions.

Echoing similar sentiments, CPI General Secretary D Raja labeled the actions of the Ministry of Education as 'criminal' and criticized the NEET for marginalizing poor students. Both leaders called for the replacement of the NTA with a decentralized organization for conducting exams.
