Youth Congress Protests NEET UG Rigging and Agniveer Scheme

The Indian Youth Congress organized a demonstration at Jantar Mantar against alleged rigging in the NEET UG exam and the Agniveer Scheme. The protest highlighted suspicions after 67 students scored a perfect 720. The NEET UG exam had 24 lakh candidates and results were unexpectedly announced earlier than scheduled.

The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on Thursday staged a significant demonstration at Jantar Mantar, voicing concerns over the alleged rigging in the NEET UG examination and opposing the Agniveer Scheme.

Scores of IYC members assembled at Jantar Mantar, wielding placards and chanting slogans. The NEET UG exam, which was conducted on May 5 across 4,750 centers, saw the participation of around 24 lakh candidates. Initially slated for a June 14 result declaration, the results were prematurely released on June 4, ostensibly due to faster evaluation of answer sheets.

Allegations of irregularities arose when 67 students achieved perfect scores of 720, a first in the NTA's history, with six of those students hailing from a single center in Faridabad, Haryana, igniting suspicions that grace marks played a role in propelling these students to the top rank.
