NSUI and Left-backed student unions staged a protest on Saturday at the residence of Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, demanding a reconducting of the NEET medical entrance exam due to alleged irregularities.

The National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the Congress's student wing, led the protest, raising slogans against Reddy. Police quickly cleared the protesters from the site.

Telangana NSUI president Balmoor Venkat called for the NEET to be redone and requested an inquiry by a sitting judge into the alleged flaws in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test. Venkat stated that student unions would obstruct the movements of Kishan Reddy and MoS (Home) Minister Bandi Sanjay if the issue remains unresolved.

Congress spokesperson Chanagani Dayakar also held a protest at Osmania University, pressing for the NEET's cancellation. Earlier, on June 18, the NSUI and other student unions organized a rally to highlight the alleged discrepancies in the medical exam.
