The controversy over NEET-JEE examinations has exposed many fault lines in the Indian education system and its attempt to cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
In a video message, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also said Modi govt should take any decision on holding NEET-JEE after a conversation is held and a consensus reached.
The only beneficiaries of a delayed NEET/JEE exam will be coaching mafias and private colleges who charge exorbitant fees for a seat. Not the students.
Karnataka is first state to announce reopening of colleges. Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan says govt may consider no-holiday academic year to complete syllabi.
Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ cited Japan, Germany and Israel as examples to underline his argument that learning in one’s mother tongue doesn’t come in the way of development.
The opposition has demanded NEET and JEE be deferred due to Covid and floods, even as Centre has said they will be held as per schedule with due precautions.
