Demonstrators, led by the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), stormed the National Testing Agency's (NTA) headquarters, igniting a series of unrest across the city.

NSUI members forcefully entered the NTA office, demanding its shutdown and locking the office with an iron chain. The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) held a separate protest at Jantar Mantar, accusing police of using batons against them.
