The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has commended the government's decision to hand over the probe into alleged irregularities in NEET-UG to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The association also conveyed its appreciation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and key ministers for their prompt attention to the matter.
In an official statement, the IMA acknowledged the Union Ministry of Education's role in transferring the investigation to the CBI, following nationwide protests and student litigation regarding allegations of a paper leak. The CBI registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Sunday, marking a significant step towards a thorough investigation.
The IMA also expressed gratitude to the government for removing the National Testing Agency's director general. The NTA had previously administered a retest for students impacted by time losses at several centers, leading to suspicions of irregularities.
